BECOMING EAGLES AND JAGUARS
Regaining Our Warrior Societies
It’s sad and criminal that we are orphans from our heritage.
We have no cultural mother/father, to guide us in our ancestor ways.
Our old ones are not true experienced or merited "elders"
and certainly not studied or earned Venerable Warrior Priests.
We are at best deceived by New Age "spirituality" and Eastern Philosophies.
Our warrior songs have long been left in ruins, in disuse, dishonored.
We only sing the songs of fools and slaves, in empty emotions:
in Pow Wows, the drums, the dance, Danza, Play Acting Rituals and Ceremonies,
in masturbatory music, burning incense, doing sweats, dishonoring our ancestors,
while fleeing from the true first duties of warriors:
to defend our people and to confront our enemies.
Our minds are just the trash, the toilet of the Europeans settlers.
We have no true courage, only the false courage of fools who betray and dishonor.
We live empty lives and useless lives, the lives of slaves, of a people in fear.
Where is it that our people are, those who should be our thinkers, our collective leaders,
the ones who should be thinking and making plans for a liberated future for our people?
How is it that we have time for thinking and acting on stupidity and not for honor?
Where are the liberators of our people coming from
if there is no thought of liberation?
Traitors and fools there are plenty of, more than we will ever need.
Gangsters and criminals feasting on the poverty of our people, we have many.
We have our people in churches eating lies, making fools of all of us,
while they are on their knees in failure, in cowardice, in selfishness,
thinking only of their sanctioned fantasies of Jesus, Mary, Heaven, and Resurrection.
In the play acting of "weekend Indians" we have our people wearing the cloth of warriors,
dishonoring, singing and dancing as warriors,
and yet we have no warriors to learn, to teach,
to defend, to promote
and to enforce discipline, to confront colonialism.
Take these words and thoughts to the mirror right now,
and find your courage to be part of learning to be a warrior,
learning to be Eagles and Jaguars,
learning to be heroes and collective leaders for our people.
So, go now and empty out your cowardice, your fears,
and become the warrior you should be: learning, teaching, defending our people.
This a call for men and women
to be defenders of our people,
students and teachers of liberation.
This is a call for intelligent and disciplined actions
that are a full Nican Tlaca education for the total liberation of Cemanahuac.
