This is not our day (National Indigenous Peoples’ Day 2021)
This is not our day (National Indigenous Peoples’ Day 2021) by Jules F. Delorme This is not our day This is not our day You cannot own a day But we ask We merely ask That you remember Just remember Not that we were here first But that we exist That we are here That we are still here That our suffering matters As much as yours That our children matter As much as yours That our children matter As much as yours And that the past Can leave scars in the present That we want to move forward We want to move forward As much as you But that the pain Can haunt you Through generations Like rings in a pond When you do not even know Who threw the rock Or that the rock was thrown On this day On this day We only ask We only ask That you remember That we are here That we are still here # https://www.facebook.com/delormewriting #danceroflies #shaman #oracle #oraclecards #spiritanimal #shamanoracle #totem #animaltotems #writing #writer #writers #poetry #poem #poems #poet #JulesDelorme...
