Watch Steemit Open Mic Week 46 "Nyanya Wind Talker Woman" (Original Song) video on DTube
We're pretty excited to have our first open mic on DTube! Good riddance YouTube.
Our tune this week is another in the ARTivism category, yet this time the song has a happy ending, instead of us depressing you the whole time.
"Nyanya Wind Talker Woman" is a collaboration between a dear friend, Jean Pierre De Mante La Jolie, and ourselves. Jean was very inspired one night and wrote a poem for his late wife Nyanya, who was a fierce advocate for Indigenous rights all over the Earth. She was a Native American woman who fought for freedom and equality her whole life. Jean approached us and asked if we would make his beautiful poem into a song and of course we said yes. It's a deep honour!
Lyrics
Bombs over Gaza, Nuclear waste on the reservations
Murder on the Palestinians, Moluccan's destruction of the Indian Nations
The genocide continuing, Dancers of death
Murder on the lands, with the next breath
Nyanya (Wind talker Woman) Weeps
Crazed oppressors wielding the sword of hateful greed,
Thou shalt kill in the name of the chosen's deceit.
The Sheep and the Cattle can't keep from milling,
Some are more than ready some aren't willing.
Nyanya (Wind talker Woman) Weeps
Vampires drinking blood and oil cocktails
Their violence works,
It hardly ever fails
New world order, is an old world lie.
Fighting for peace, see how they die.
Nyanya (Wind talker Woman) Weeps
Dragging in God, as they turn violent.
God says nothing, he just remains silent.
Stop madmen from running loose.
Mother Earth Woman can’t take the abuse
The self proclaimed chosen ones,
Invented Zionism and Manifest Destiny,
To bring the people of Palestine, The Moluccas, and Turtle Island to their knees.
Nyanya (Wind talker Woman) Weeps
Wind talking from the spirit world:
Daughter of Earth sets in motion
Uniting with the Earth Children of Palestine
And Nusa Ina: In shared Emotion
Brothers and Sisters on all continents,
Coming together to defeat the beast.
Hansina Uktolseja, Wafa Idris, and Lozen vindicated at last
Nyanya (Wind talker Woman) smiles
Nyanya (Wind talker Woman) smiles
Nyanya (Wind talker Woman) smiles
