The strength of the poetry as we enter into whatever it is we are entering into, will be determined by the clarity of the thinking we put into it.

Everything that has ever happened to us is there to make us stronger.

Historically speaking, we went from being Indians to pagans to savages to hostiles to militants to activists to Native Americans. Its five hundred years later and they still cant see us. We are still invisible.

I think we live in an industrial dimensional reality where we're programmed to believe what we're told. We're programmed to believe them. We're programmed to believe what that ruling class wants us to believe.

In the society of illusion, reality must manifest itself. The story songs of Joel Rafael are that manifestation... the essence of minstrel.

Don't trust anyone who isn't angry.

The past is more than a memory.
