I do not own you
Earth
Gravel
Grit
Soil beneath toes
I do not control you
Animal
Flank
Sweat
Blood and bone
I do not hold documents
Destroy
Own
Planet
Power misunderstood
I do not craft sky
Pasture
Heartbeats
Wind
Creaking of wood
I do not see privilege
Of tenant
Of transitory thing
I do not know my place
Fleeting
Blink of an eye
- Homo sapien
