our land?

Why can't we use this land to build another world?
Imagine a soil without ownership,
to speak another word than
onerous-transaction-reducing-all-to-economics-of-loss-prevention
who said it was yours to begin with?
Who taught you to hold so tightly?
Easier for the dispossessed, landless ones
come to terms with it—
exchange of worlds
measuring fistfuls of soil at a time;
we had little to begin with
little to lose at day's end
everything to gain
everything to gain
