contrary
to
what that song
told you
this
ain’t your land
never
was
your forefathers
showed up
without
a passport
or
work visa
and
proceeded
to
lay claim to
anything
and
everything
they coveted
and when
we said
wait a minute jack
they
started shooting us
in order
to
save our heathen souls
seems
like
someone
misread the text
but
let me digress
all
i really
want to say
in this age
of
walls
is
get the hell out
of
my country
No land is anyone’s land. We all have to stand on it, like we all have to breathe air.
how easily we forget our pasts, don’t we?
