Opps! Wrong planet!
I was born here.
My mother spilled her blood on this soil when giving me life.
My mother spilled her blood on this soil ending her life.
I live here.
I walk this earth. Every footstep connects me to the soil.
The soil connects me to my mother. Every footstep a breath
of life exchanged between us.
Look! Someone made a flag, someone built a framework,
someone caged in their glass house, ivory tower, shackles and chains.
Not my flag, not my frame.
Only my land. Only my birth. Only my life. Only my mother.
