We are not From this World


We are not from this world

We are not in this world

We are not on this world

We are not of this world

We are the world,

The air in our lungs

Is the air that circuits this planet

The blood in our veins

Holds the waters of this world

The minerals in our bones

Are from the bones of the Earth

What we do to the world

We do unto ourselves.
