I Claim You

I claim you my flags laid down from here to the horizon here to the horizon I build my house out of matchsticks tonight keep one spare for the striking under the foundations. where giants roamed now only bones of those who came before decorate their ground so how will I know to keep you safe by building walls so you can't see outside and I can't fear what comes. you will erode you will erode now so it will come It will come down let it erode let it erode now I claim you my flags laid down there's nothing left for sharing nothing left to share so I'll take my spade and dig under the ground for something to discover something to keep me here for I could go and stake my claim on someone else's land, as history's foretold but what have we learned I see but desolate that no one now can occupy let it live to let it truly die
