My Country Tis of Thee

My Country Tis Of Thee My American Heritage. One old leather boot,and a tennis shoe,a cause celibre. A belly full of alkaline water in the desert. Squirting out all of my survival. Looking closer on the level of the belly of the snake. NavaJo religion is my profession, Kiva for three days,listening to ancestors speaking. Truth it came to me.My Country Tis Of Thee. Food and water is worth more than gold and silver. Life is more than a shirt and a pants. Living in peace and in harmony dance. Holding on to Jesus never letting go. Holding on to treason hating my past life. Letting go of reason in the face of my new future. Finding love in outer space places. Embracing myself to have my ewe in my future. Finding the reasons to die for my religion. Colors of the flag blend into rainbows,too. America the beautifull is just me and it is ewe.
