DECEMBER 10, 1992

ON DECEMBER 10, 1992
THE WORST STORM OF THE CENTURY BLEW
AS A HOPI ELDER ADDRESSED THE UNITED NATIONS
WARNING OF THE DAY OF PURIFICATION

A LONG TIME BACK MANY YEARS AGO
THE FUTURE TO THE HOPI PEOPLE WAS SHOWN
IN HUGE NUMBERS THE WHITE MAN WOULD COME THEY WERE TOLD
GREEDY FOR LAND GREEDY FOR GOLD

THEY WILL HAVE FORGOTTEN THEIR RELATION TO SPIRIT
WHEN THE EARTH MOTHER SPEAKS THEY CAN NO LONGER HEAR IT
MANY SIGNS THEY WERE SHOWN THAT HAVE COME TO PASS
YOU MUST KNOCK AT THE DOOR OF THE HOUSE OF GLASS
FAR TO THE EAST BESIDE THE SEA
A GREAT HOUSE OF MICA YOU WILL SEE
WHERE PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE SENT
REPRESENTING ALL THE GOVERNMENTS

TO THE HOUSE OF MICA YOU MUST GO
TO WARN THE PEOPLE YOU MUST KNOCK AT THE DOOR
KNOCK FOUR TIMES, IF YOU’RE TURNED AWAY
PREPARE FOR PURIFICATION DAY

HE KNOCKED THE FIRST TIME IN 1949
BECAUSE THE ELDERS HAD ALREADY SEEN THE SIGNS
THE SWASTIKA AND THE RISING SUN
THE GOURD OF ASHES THAT’S THE ATOM BOMB

HE KNOCKED THREE TIME AND A FOURTH TIME TOO
THAT WAS IN 1992
HE WORE A RED BANDANA, IN THE GOLDEN LIGHT IT SHIMMERED
IN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY THE MESSAGE WAS DELIVERED

THE EARTH ROSE UP TO CLAIM HER CHILD
THE WIND AND SEAS AND THE RAIN WAS WILD
NINETY MILE WINDS HIT THE JERSEY SHORE
HOUSES COLLAPSED BEACHES WERE NO MORE

THE EAST RIVER FLOODED THE FDR DRIVE
THE HUDSON ROSE UP AND COVERED THE WEST SIDE
THE WEATHER PEOPLE WERE ALL CAUGHT OFF GUARD
BUT THE FEATHER PEOPLE KNEW IT WAS THE WORD OF GOD

WHAT WILL IT TAKE BEFORE WE LEARN TO BE HUMBLE
MUST ALL OUR CHILDREN DIE AND ALL OUR BUILDINGS CRUMBLE
LISTEN TO THE WISDOM OF THE NATIVE BROTHER
RESPECT THE TRUTH, HONOR YOUR MOTHER

MANY PEOPLE SPOKE AT THE UN THAT DAY
INDIGENOUS LEADERS FROM VERY FAR AWAY
KEEPERS OF THE EARTH, KEEPERS OF THE FAITH
WHO STILL WATCH OVER THE LAND OF THEIR ANCESTORS’ GRAVES

FROM ALL OVER THE GLOBE THE MESSAGE WAS THE SAME
WE KILL ‘EM FOR GOLD IN JESUS’ NAME
WE’RE KILLING THE EARTH AND IT’S GETTING LATE
WE’RE ALL CONNECTED, WE ALL SHARE THE SAME FATE

YOU KNOW THAT STORM COULD’VE LASTED A WHOLE LOT LONGER
IT WASN’T GOING ANYWHERE AND IT WAS ONLY GETTING STRONGER
BUT ALL THE NATIVE PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE THE NEXT DAY
THEY PRAYED TOGETHER AND ASKED THE STORM TO GO AWAY

WELL YOU MIGHT BELIEVE ME AND YOU MAY NOT
YOU’RE GONNA HAVE TO LOOK INTO YOUR OWN HEART
ONLY YOU CAN DECIDE WHAT YOU BELIEVE IS TRUE
BUT YOU WON’T HEAR ANY OF THIS ON THE NIGHTLY NEWS

ON DECEMBER 10, 1992
THE WORST STORM OF THE CENTURY BLEW
AS THOMAS BANYACYA ADDRESSED THE UNITED NATIONS
WARNING OF THE DAY OF PURIFICATION

Paul McMahon Woodstock, New York

From a musical family he explored folk, jug, blues and rock quitting music at 20 for art, returning as a punk rocker at 27. Then a long oddysey, solo and band in search of the real real deal; the songs becoming a diary of psychological and spiritual experience; shamanism and ordination as an Interfaith minister.
January 2020 tour of DC Ba Ph & Bk was his first at 69 organized by Goodflavor45 ... more
