Pale Moon Above the Chumash Nation

pale moon hangs dreamily
over the the Happy Valley
peers through the thin clouds
above the wet forest night

The Chumash take the white man's wagers
petty payback for pestilence past
still the land is young, & the earth still spinning
into the future, the Sovereign sing.

Billy Jack lives in the caves nearby
holds for the radical chic 60's idealism
knowing peace & love now that is all well & good
but still every once in a while
you got to kick a little ass!
