Belief or Religion

The veins of this valley coarse with my ancestor’s blood
Long have I resided amongst these hills with the beasts side by side.
These rivers flow alongside my abode and fill my body with pride
I have discerned of every healing power of every shrub, herb and flower bud.

You can not alter my faith for even after force I continue to believe
Attempted to replace my hybrid creatures which personify my origin
But my ethnic blood proliferates descendents with my rare glow of skin
And now our creatures inspire imaginations to conceive

My strength lies within how much I believe.
