built this land in which we live,
blood and sweat poured out of
our veins as the fought the land
and its obstacles... we bathed
in her rivers, wore clothes made
from her animals and feasted
on fish and fowl... we were the
pioneers who settled this land
and tamed her wildness so that
our wildness could prevail...
we were crude and ruthless
in all our undertakings as if it
was meant to be and no one
should stand in our way... we
stole what we wanted, caring
not about what we may need...
we were those who gave you
your future so that your lives
might be somewhat gentler.
