Spin you on the navel of the storm, for the hoe

That roots the forests plows a path for squirrels”

Earth is like mother

Child is generalize

No color discrimination

No religion

No war

And ebbing, leave a meaning of the fossilled sands.”

Debt of birth

Have to pay with death

We have debt of nature, too

Ultimate reality of life
