Resurrect

 

-------Resurrect-------

 

Few, 

if any,

who speak today

of bootstrap independence

 

Know the art 

of tending land

and cannot feed themselves.

 

Dependent

as the day of birth.

Unmoved 

by humble labor.

 

Before the wage 

we lived with trees

and made our homes from them.

 

We gathered herbs

and spun the fleece

our woolen 

siblings shared.

 

We spoke the language 

of a place 

and then those words were stolen.

 

The Commons 

though

still remain

in my dreams awaiting

 

The Diggers hands

to resurrect

abundance once again.
