PLOUGHS AND FENCES

Children of
those who ploughed,
those who fenced
raise your heads
brace your shoulders
catch your tears, as they seep
offer them with pride
to the snowy top
of your mountain grand

For, the spirit of righteousness
will never be imprisoned
hold your loved ones
those who ploughed
those who fenced
catch your tears, as the seep
offer them with pride
to the snowy top
of your mountain grand

Do you see,
the mountain and your forefathers
wear the insignia of chief,
snow white – enduring
across all time.
