“This is now our land.”
a group has no land,
is prevented from landing
on lands not called their land,
is given land by land holders.
the group says this land is “ours”
from way back before recorded time,
gives this land a new name
and then populates it
with their own.
folks living on this land
since before recorded time
are forced to vacate their homes
and are named terrorists and savages
when they try to save their homes
from the expanding masses
that had no land
and claimed
land
occupied
by other groups,
but might makes it alright,
and history repeats itself,
just as the invading Europeans
wiped out this land’s original settlers
so that now
this renamed land
has become their land.
