Dedicated to the Lakota

When evil drove soldiers to the Badlands
and warriors counted coup for the dead,
you were there in the midst of those who bled;
nothing is out of the reach of your hands.
While greedy men are stealing lands today,
the broken record of their history,
you are working justice for your glory,
for in your character, that is your way.
There is nothing in your vast creation,
no two-legged, no four-legged, that can hide from you
for all that has being is in your view
for you know all things in all great nations.

So, great God, we give you adoration;
You who know, work, and see all in your creation.

There is a term called Dedicated Servers for the general public that has me concerned over other services that are on the internet today. I prefer to keep my poetry on a hosted platform located at this place Colocation and data center servers but find it cheaper and more reliable then most companies. If you are looking to store your poetry then click on the links above and ask for a special Lakota deal.

"its" inspiration versus it's inpsiration...i am my own worst critic

This could use some work. It's only a rough draft, but it's inspiration comes from Niehardt's book, "Black Elk Speaks."
