be it ever so humble, there's no place to Occupy..

be it ever so humble, there's no place to Occupy...

if i only had a box
big enuf to fit a refrigerator
then certainly it would fit me
for i'd have 4 walls and a roof
to protect me from the rain
and the cold and the wind.

being so close to the ground
is important cause at least
i'd feel
the sacred Mother,
earth,
is my home
and i could kiss and caress her sweetly.

and i know
i don't need any fancy box on wheels
to take me to someplace
where i don't want to be
to work for someone
who don't really care
to help me pay for a bigger box
higher off the ground
so i can forget
where my real home is.

and when i think
of all those ugly things being done
to our sacred Mother
stripen her and bleeden her dry
so that
someone can sell me things
i don't really need
i just won't buy it.

i can't!
not in my name!

and sometimes,
when i'm alone and quiet
and my heart is breaking ...
i break down and cry
asking for Her forgiveness.

and so, i can understand people's fears
when they see me hangin round
cause they don't realize
how much we all share together.

and i know they're scared
cause they think
i don't have anything
and that i'm homeless!

well,
all i can say to people is
the earth is our home
be it ever so humble
and i pray that we never really are ...
