Land and Ownership

His forefather migrated,
He left his kinsmen, 
He left his clan,
He went in search of a home,
He journeyed far from his homeland,  
He traversed territories,
None was befitting to settle,
Some were private properties,
Others lacked the serenity he desired, 
He journeyed further until he found a place,   
A place that embraced him, 
A place of pristine beauty,
A place where the river 
goes in a tranquil flow,
He grew and became great,
From a few people to a great nation.
