Will You Listen?

From the long and long ago spirits calling out my name,where are the children where did they go we can feel them we need to know?
Why have they hidden from thier clans they should be living on this land,sacred places all are empty no one prays here anymore.
Who now teaches of our ways why is it no one talks and no one plays,the river still sings its song the mountians have waited for so long.
Gone now gone away sing of sadness sing of pain,what is left of our past is being stolen,broken,lost,why is nothing being done to stop this everyone?
What shall I tell them what can I say I try so hard to share the way,my people speak from long ago I feel the pain I feel their tears my heart hurts so.
Grandmothers voice in my mind telling me what I should say,how can I go on in this way how can I ever explain I can not make the people learn.
When the spirits call your name brothers sisters please do not turn away,listen to what your people have to say!
granny!
