Pepkijetekn (Drums)

I listened to a television program
Where I heard natives discussing suicide.
The main cause among aboriginals
Who are without jobs, the problems analyzed.
Some blamed porno movies, heavy metal, negativeness.
I listened, trying own way to solve the problem
Caring very much to see a solution.
Why not Lnu songs now only a memory.
The drums stored somewhere on the mind.
The positive, we play ours
The positive, we sing ours
Re-learning is not hard, the rest fall into place.
The embracing of values, all over again,
We teach, we follow, the role played.
Co-existing on a spiritual trail.
Just seeing a dressed feather on altar made my day.
Consider the young
What is dear to them.
We return to the spirit what is dear
