Revelation

let them cheat my people
and cut down my trees

let them impoverish my country
and abuse my peace

let them capture my villages
and taint my seas

let them my change my laws
and litter my streets

because they cannot stain my skies
or steal my stars
or kiss my sun
or dance on my horizon
or heat my tears
or cripple my dignity

Author's Note

Ah instant inspiration from a street ride through a place of poverty while driving
