Bounded by the borders
Made by fighters
Oppositions
Seeking land
Seeking gains
Seeking purpose
Territory
A place to call home
Place to call mine
Place for my-
Our lives to thrive
Values intertwined
Conscience at a bind
Morals pass from spine
To spleen
From the books
We read
To the gods
We seek
To the guts
Of mortals
And beings
Unseen
