conveniently forgotten
every step was true
one at a time in co ordination
one with the other
we are not the lords of this earth
we are its children
as we walked out into its plains
and its fast flowing
rivers and between
its tall and ever growing trees
we remembered that
we chanted our love of all lands and seas
but there came a time
one of thoughtless passion and greed
where we found it easier
to forget our bond
with mother earth and father sky
and went on a lesser
path all feet running
to get ahead of others around us
pushing them down
as we went our selfish way
there once was an
honoring we kept for each other
we are not the lords
of this earth we are its children
