Twisted History the Rape of the Plains People
Bella Shepard said:
Dearest Nev, this poem so strongly resonates, after visiting many sites of Native American Culture on our vacation. You\'ve crafted this beautifully, recounting a history that was distorted for generations. It is only now that our Indiginous Americans are beginning to get the credit and respect they deserve. I sometimes think that when we whites have decimated our earth for gain, the Native People who have held onto their bond with nature will be the ones to bring life back, as it was meant to be. Thank you for the depth of conscience and empathy you possess, it always shines through in the most profound way. A thousand fav\'s!!!

Twisted History the Rape of the Plains People
MendedFences27 said:
Probably one of the greatest genocides in human history, the elimination of the indigenous peoples of North, Central, and South America by European peoples. These were cultures that had existed for 30,000 years (latest discoveries prove) and now they are gone. The Plains people were the last to be conquered. And yes, every, what we now call war crimes, were committed to achieve the slaughter. The end result, the countries of Canada, the U.S.A, Mexico, all of Central America and South America. It continued until the early twentieth century, though some say it still continues.
Your poem\'s focus is one small part of this massacre. Your author\'s note says it causes you to be ashamed. Don\'t be, this is characteristic of what mankind was and still is all about. The conquest (slaughter) of people in order to possess their land. - Phil A.

Sometimes what we do doesn\'t feel enough, and we end up being condemned! Trying to heal our generation is a full-time job!! So, personally, I try healing myself every day, in hopes it carries on!!! \"Then he burnt both sage and saffron to heal and to colour his rage and his anger\" THIS...is so powerful to me!!! Not sure if this was the intention but....thank you! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Some \"chat up\" lines seem phony. Yours at least has some truth to it. I truly believe it\'s more a matter of chemistry, than anything else.
Your poem speaks of some failures as well as connections. It reminds one how cumbersome such cold intros can be. A great reflection on one of life\'s difficult experiences. - Phil A.

Can\'t argue with this empirical evidence. The true test would be if others tried your method and got the same results, then there might be a \"Nevlaw\" there. I also had to google \"teach granny to suck eggs\", hadn\'t heard that one before. Such a delight-filled write my friend, and always a pleasure.

R.I.P. old red silk scarf, as it \"Floats down on a whisper\", seems like closure. Beautifully crafted dear Nev!

Ole! As a bull charges toward that falling \"red silk.\" Ole! And that \"dangerous sidewalk\" (What, not a pavement?) gets a whole lot more threatening. At last, some passive resistance to a \"nemesis\" pays off.
A great tale of retribution. - Phil A.

You are clearly besotted and far too reliant on the mental defence mechanism of reaction formation .. you are also more nutty than a topic ..

Bobby O said:
The frown hanging there adds a weight to my shoulders, it’s cumbersome especially when it may be predicted and yet doesn’t slow us down. It’s irrational and yet most who have committed resource in the past feel it’s due to turn, so we stumble forward with unreasoned plan, but the frown is honest and therefore a base of advantaged certainty.

I was taken aback by this one. You \"ache, long, bleed, and love\" and receive a \"frown.\" Otherwise, a great piece of poetry, \"and again upon rainbows,\" \"the sense of you.\" \" are yet to be remembered.\" Not just your average phrasing. - Phil A.
