If we trace the origin of almost any myth or tale we will usually find an actual event, a real setting, or an original conception, a living human being. Let us be wise enough to learn the true history so that we can recognize a myth when we see one.
-- Dee Brown (The American West)

#BuryMyHeart by #TheWaterboys

"Wrote by #MikeScott after reading #DeeBrown's book. Originally intended for the first #Waterboys album it was inexplicably left off and only appeared subsequently on the 12" single of The big music."

"We're God's chosen people
This and other truths I know
Put them into vicious practice
Because the bible tells me so
And I drowned the noble savage
In the blessed holy water
I burned his filthy village
And I civilized his daughter

The liars in this world
Who say we shame the blood of Christ
But killing is his mercy
And nits grow into lice
And all those gooks I napalmed
Man, I did it in God's name
When the fools put me on trial I shouted out
I'm not to blame -- I did it for him!
I did it for him!

I did it for him!
He made do it!
He tore the heavens apart

Bury my heart!
Bury my heart!
Bury my heart!"

Há alguns dias, eu comecei a ler "Enterrem meu coração na curva do rio" do #DeeBrown. Eu ainda estou bem no inicinho do livro e já estou possuído de raiva pelo colonizador americano. Acho que vou parar e pegar algo mais leve, não estou com cabeça pra nada pesado assim, está me fazendo mal. Estou num daqueles momentos em que algum escapismo é necessário para manter a sanidade mental. Acho que vou ler "It" do #StephenKing mesmo.
