WHAT OF THIS HUMANITY

WHAT OF THIS HUMANITY
AND OTHER FALSE ACCUSATIONS

And if in need of rest

I fall back on faith
The ancient ones
The truth of steel
The eclipse of the sun

The blood of the fallen
The rage of the living
The focus of intelligence
Appropriate giving

I fall back on strength
The clouds and the sky
Come against me if you will
But I do not willingly die

I stand in the sun
I sleep upon stone
I speak the truth
The heart is my home

I fall back on sweat
And effort well done
Stillness is the center
Of the longest run

For the earth is my cradle
And ice is in my veins
I am the creator of civilizations
But I'll never be tamed
