Run!The Ballad of Two Clouds

there once was a man of bravery

so full of valor and humanity

he went up on the Stag

and brought them what they never had

now pay attention 

this message is for you 

Beware! Beware! 

Beware! Beware!

Beware!

beware of the wolf, the turtle,

deer, and Iron Bear

beware or you’ll end up just like Two

not a single soul ever dared to care

begging may have drawn a dollar here and there

“mountain nigga!” they all called them

“jackson white!” they all declared

until Creator sent 

an answer to their prayers

Beware! Beware! 

Beware! Beware!

Beware!

‘cause every Indian ain’t holy

lots of us are savage, too

beware or you’ll end up just like Two

he stood up to The White Man that they fear

true Warriors are meant to be revered

“we love you!” they all lied

while harboring hatred inside

no action is proof, 

deadly as cyanide

Beware! Beware! 

Beware! Beware!

Beware!

just keep your loving to yourself 

them mountain folks are bad for your health

and they’ll try to erase you 

like they do with Two

july 3rd reached the fever pitch

they couldn’t bend him so attacked and ditched

Big Dog called upon his kin,

the boys in blue, his closest friends

“we hate you jacks 

but blackie was a dick!”

Beware! Beware! 

Beware! Beware!

Beware!

beware when they call you

brother, cousin, nephew, son

chile, you best to turn ‘round

on your heels and run!

no investigation and no outcry, too

Two Clouds, another ‘nigga’ that got used

“allies”? native “advocates”?

hundreds called with no answer yet

posers, in a “fight”

that makes their fit look tight

Beware! Beware! 

Beware! Beware!

Beware!

indian talk sho is pretty

but them mofos, boy, is gritty!

take heed!

don’t get caught like my Two

tribal government and county in cahoots! 

thank the Lord they’re all dumber than my boots

MURDER and staged scene, it’s fact!

too bad for them that the State has got my back

i’m a fire raging!!

and they’ll ALL be consumed

Beware! Beware! 

Beware! Beware!

Beware!

beware of the wolf, the turtle,

deer, and Iron Bear

beware or you’ll end up just like Two

Interview: Lyreshia Speaks

We were blessed to be invited to speak on three platforms over the past six weeks. For the most recent, I sat with Lyreshia Bonds to answer pointed questions about who Muriyd Two Clouds Williams was, what he contributed to the world before being murdered by pseudo-friends and -comrades, and what law enforcement has been doing about it.

A native Newarker like us, Lyreshia filed a lawsuit in federal court against the state of New Jersey for discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. She has also been fighting for several years to have her mentally ill nephew released from prison due to bogus charges she documents in videos, an autobiography, and a podcast as being in retribution to her refusal to back down from the state.

*Misinformation in this paragraph updated 1/12/25 at 1:52 pm.

I had a great conversation with Lyreshia. As someone who worked nearly a decade on the 'inside' as a probation officer, earned a BA in Criminal Justice, and MA in Political Science and Public Affairs, she is a wonderful ally to have by our sides. She is selfless, and shares her experience, expertise, and platform with families like my own who are suffering at the hands of a racist and broken judicial system that proves time and again that our lives do not matter to them. Not black lives. Not red lives. Not brown lives.

Please do support Lyreshia Bonds' website and YouTube channel to learn about other injustices being raged upon people of color. And don't forget to like, share, and subscribe!

Interview: SouthEastern TalkingStick Podcast

At the end of the year on December 29 I was invited to speak on the SouthEastern TalkingStick Podcast with Anidohi CHRISTINA RR JXI and Chito Pa. It was a wonderful and freeing experience in that I was allowed to speak honestly and unbound for my son, murdered Indigenous rights activist and successful Land Back advocate, Muriyd Two Clouds Williams. For the first time, I presented to the public several photos of Two Clouds after he was (according to law enforcement) pulled from the Ramapo River bank which rests at the shore of the Ramapough Nation's religious grounds. The same land and water that Two Clouds secured for the tribe when he relocated there to fight for them and stop the illegal seizure of the property by the surrounding wealthy Polo Club HOA. The photos are evidence of the state of Two's' lifeless body as well as his clothing and lack of footwear.

I read from official town, county, and state documents that support the allegations I have been very loudly proclaiming since the day my family and I received the terrible news of my son's death: there was no accident, Two Clouds was absolutely, irrefutably murdered. The duo was visibly infuriated after witnessing the Truth, seeing the photos, and hearing part of an audio recording from when I and a small group of supporters confronted a man we are convinced helped steal our relative's life. In the recording the man (referred to as S1 in articles on this blog) is heard never denying our direct claims that he murdered Two Clouds. Instead he responded, "That's an accusation!" or "I want to know who's putting my name in their mouth!" yet never, "No, i didn't! I would never hurt Two Clouds!". Viewers came to understand what I have maintained for two and a half years. They joined Christina and Pa in declaring, "Justice for Two Clouds!"

We thank Creator for gifting us with the opportunity to expand our story to a broader community. Thank you Christina and Pa! We appreciate you, and look forward to working together in the future.

Nia:wen ki' wahi.
