Everything all as one

I come from generations of

People I am close to and love

I am

Born from generations of anguish

Prosperity and things that may seem outlandish

These people who roamed before me

Had been connected to the earth as I am now.

As they had worked to hunt, eat, and reproduce—

the same reason I have to thank them for.

For if not for the constant cycle they had lived in

A new cycle would not have been formed

A cycle of life

Not only life, but

Life of the world as a whole

As we all participate in this game

Working with each other to keep this game going

For our kids and grandkids

Until we ourselves shut the coffin lid.
