aboriginal true thing together



crafted from axel to rim
energy fields to evoke
who, seizing concern
in tumble and turn
developed their niches and spoke

the steel of the wheel in vibration
frequency flow augers even
for as many spokes 
as it can coax
in keepin' with what we're achievin'

crunchin' irons in rocky environs
groovin' the less firm sands
fervent zeal
for the ride's rough feel
gives way to a zeal for our land

each spoke with a call for respect as its all
has ridden over much of the stage
but as spokes can let go
a reversal of flow
means the hub and its thrust will engage

dare I equal the task a new chief may ask
a cacophony of views as to whether
we dare merge our visions
and spiritual provisions
to look at the true thing together
