Step, step on this land
That was not yours to begin with.
Run, pound the roads that were not of your making.
The dead burn easily.
Laugh at the sun, laugh at life
That was gifted to you.
Cry, yell at what they stole.
The dead burn easily.
Fight your bother, fight your nemesis,
Fight your wife and your child.
Who will remember you, don’t you know that
The dead burn easily.

When I read the first lines of your goose pimples provoking poem, I immediatly thought of colonisators, dear Patricia, but I realized that you want us to understand that we should be happy with what is our own and to laugh at life:)
I thank you very much for this poem.
A sunny day
