Leonard Peltier Human-being "In the Shadowed Night." <br />Sometimes in the shadowed night I become spirit. <br />The walls, the bars, the gratings dissolve into light <br />and I unloosen my soul <br />and fly through the inner darkness of my being. <br />I become transparent, <br />a bright shadow, <br />a bird of dreams singing from the tree of life. <br /> <br />I have no presence. <br />I have only a past <br />and, perhaps, a future. <br />The presence has been taken from me. <br />I’m left in an empty space whose darkness <br />I carve at with the "The Knife of My Mind". <br />I must carve myself anew <br />out of the razor-wire nothingness. <br />I will know the ecstasy <br />and the pain <br />of freedom. <br />I will be ordinary again. <br />Yes, ordinary, <br />that terrifying condition, <br />where all is possibility, <br />where the presence exists and must be faced. <br />by Leonard Peltier <br /> <br />Music by Free Hip Hop Beats: Unforgiven Feeling
