Can we live

                off the grid

                               if we so choose?

Can we be

              Without boundaries

                            And yet be reserved?

Can we speak in one voice

              Is it even our choice

                            Or part of the plan?

Can we see past the lies

              Through our ancestors eyes

                            A path that is clear?

Can we extend

              To include all of them

                            In this circle of love?

Can we connect

              And show great respect

                            With colonial words?

Can we begin

              To heal from within

                            Our spirit wounds?
