September
is a long ways off,
creating
a climate
of
fear and intimidation.
This
is just a time to take care
of
the dogs,
endorse
people not taken
into
consideration,
people
completely marginalized.
We
are going into a moment
in
the cycle
Create
the climate we need
for
dialogue...
I
don't want to break the law
I'll
get some truth, some under-
standing,
some realization
It's
going to have an impact
It
makes my heart very happy.
On
the edge, looking for a saviour,
I
am prepared to listen and
I
am humbled.
Whatever
happened to Indians
is
real; it's not make-believe,
not
a story coming out
of
Walt Disney...
They
are telling the truth.
I
don't see any reason
to
run; trouble has been
kind
of hijacked of late.
Truth
and reconciliation is
not
a commission; it's not
a
process.
It
needs to become
a
movement.
It
is our new way
of
moving
forward
together.
There
has to be building
bridges,
time to fix
Putting
Humpty-Dumpty
together
again,
healing
wounds.
I'm
not closing any doors.

One - Quote Cento - from Edmonton Journal; Tues.Apr.1.2014; multiple sections, multiple articles,
primarily: "Separating contenders from the pretenders" and
"Lessons won't be lost - (Truth and Reconciliation)".
I like the declarative last line that your speaker reaches after outlining the argument.
ReplyDeleteI also like the last line -- and the third stanza, with its last line on truth, is powerful. The whole piece holds together and works as a whole
