Dancing the Sun Dance

A paradigm unchanging, unblemished and fair
with a bearing so pale and rare,
cynosure of all eyes,
rapture that nobody denies.
A society trapped in the idea of beauty,
the mindset instilled for generations with a sense of degenerate duty.
A land seduced by the glimmer of gold
and pale skin bringing whiffs of worldly satisfaction untold,
A land where the sun sends its fiery blessing everyday,
A land where from the sun society people shy away.
Erase your program come out and dance,
forget you culture and with life take a chance.
The sun is as real as the ground we stand
forget you trepidation and dance to a merry band.
We are who we are not the melanin or the gold,
You govern your life not the traditions untold.
the sun dance is forgotten and buried away,
the sun dance must be remembered by you and me today.
courage is what you embody when you dream to be,
and dull and sad is what the society thinks you deserve to be.
be a free mind and don't think about everything you hear and say,
then you might just feel the sun dance and your sprint jingle and sway.
