The Law is in the Corn
the people of the southwest say this...
to be there with the morning star in that sacred time...
to talk to the corn, to hear it talk in the wind
in the language of movement... what to do.
Out here at the Eastern Door, we say, it is
the Original Instructions,
but also a sacred thing happened when we were
given the Great Law, for we had forgotten
the Original Instructions...
when crooked men arise and become dictators,
murderers, thieves, cannibals...
The People would take the seed and move
to plant their Corn in a new place,
once again under the shelter of the Tree of Peace,
This is called Democracy,
it is in the land, it is in the seed.
The Law Is In The Corn
The Law Is In The Seed.
