    Default Endless Power Play on the Plains (CTG)

    Endless Power Play on the Plains

    We, the people, demand power
    for our DIRECTV DVRs with TiVo,
    our iTunes for Mac and PC.

    The veteran rancher urges preservation
    for the last traces of buffalo jump,
    medicine wheel, yellow teepee rings
    in parched prairie grass;

    where bison thundered
    and Sioux hunted, powerlines
    and utility company's all-terrain
    vehicles menace remains
    as the wind on the plains
    whispers of Sioux ghosts:

    Flights of arrows
    flights of eagles
    take our land
    take our lives
    do with them
    as you please.

    Long-moldering treaties,
    forgotten entreaties;
    peacepipes smoked,
    endless rope-a-dope.

    Mortmain or
    legerdemain,
    whatever you do
    don't refrain
    don't refrain.
