on this land
dirt
composed of
the ashes of my ancestors
babies burned alive
because they were on this land
and then you tell me that your religion is a peaceful religion
and you tell me that your god absolves you of all sins
because manifest destiny
on this land lay my ancestors
pieces of them here and there
slaughtered like cattle
because manifest destiny
on this land I stand
alive
and strong
despite all you’ve taken from me
on this land I stand
intelligent
expansive
on this land I stand
my land.
