we the land

 

it cannot be owned

cannot be trapped

behind badges and barricades

 

the right

belongs to all

to celebrate the cycles

of dark and light

 

we the land

made from

earth and dust

air and tempest

wave and weeping

from smoke

flame and

back again

A beautiful and apt poem for the summer solstice. This reminds us both of our connections and what should should be our rights when it comes to the land, and it's our Facebook and Twitter Pick of the Day. Please do share/retweet if you enjoy it too.
