INDIGENOUS LEADERSHIP

REBEL MUSIC

As he calls upon ALL humans to

UNIFY,

his voice and other rebel voices

are reaching the masses:

“We are not protesters,

we are protectors of The Land.

We’ve been doing this for thousands of years.

We are doing this today.

These borders can’t hold us back.”

~ Frank Waln, Lakota, Native American Rapper

~~~~~

Indigenous youth,

the freedom-fighting  generation

of Warriors

of the new millennium

are calling to

The Four Directions

North, South, East and West,

Red, Yellow, Black and White;

Rise up

Speak out

as voices of the voiceless

Become ONE voice

the ultimate defense

not  knives and guns

but words, music and the pen

mightier than the sword

ignite and demand change

Fight a high-stakes battle

against

 fake democracy

dehumanization

injustice

oppression

of living beings afraid of their governments.

Invest in our children

who hold the future of The Earth

in the palms of their hands.

~~~

In times of Revolution

In times of Dissent,

In times of Resistance

In times of Reform,

We rise up

We risk our lives

for Freedom.

“No one is coming to save us

We must do this ourselves.”

~ Frank Waln

LISTEN TO THE ANIMAL IN ME

I came across this video by Rapper IFEEL today and was really excited about the way he is using his gift.  He raps a message that is sure to be a part of the greatest social issue of our time and that is that animals FEEL,  and they HURT,  and they SUFFER, and they have as much a right to respect and compassion as human animals do.

These are living beings who feel just like we do.  They are being tortured, abused and killed in our laboraties, in slaughter houses, in their natural habitats . . . by butchers, hunters, trappers, scientists, circus owners and psychopaths.  They NEED our voice !!!  Any action, even seemingly small, makes a difference.  We can be heard through our blogs, on all social media platforms, through letter writing, petition signing, volunteering for animal welfare causes and with our dollars through donations.  Please become ACTIVE!

On behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves, Thank You.

ABOUT THE MUSIC OF IFEEL

Animals in IFEEL’s songs share their feelings and thoughts. They express their pain, they are angry, they cry, they laugh, they try to communicate with us, they are disappointed, they are grateful. And when they are abused, they fight back. As IFEEL explains: “If someone abused or hurt you, you would protect yourself, wouldn’t you? It’s the same with animals. The only reason they don’t retaliate for all the abuse they are put through is because their abusers have all the vicious tools to keep them locked up, torture them and murder them with cruel efficiency.”

Why does IFEEL do this? “I do it cause it’s so damn easy to kill / breed it, feed it, cut it, ship it, serve a happy meal / I do it cause they steal em, beat em, breed em and bleed em / treat em like trash, throw em away when they don’t need em. ”

“Please make ’em stop,

this is so wrong,

please make ’em stop,

I can’t go on.”
