YA  MATIN   
                                      (invoking The Unchanging)
    “This land is my land.
You gotta understand that.
    I own it & it owns me
this home of forest grows me
 life I cannot sell or lend
its riches bless me without end.
     We’ve been here
  since the start of time:
   it’s not a bottom line;
  gifted through my fathers
   the spirit in the feathers
my right by rites of Paradise.

This land you mine is mine."
