Unshakeable, rooted solidly in the flesh 
of our mother, 
Earth,
I stand triumphant, 
arms raised to the heavens, 
and shout
“I am! I am! And always will be!”
no manmade avatar can replace me,
no laboratory invent me.

I am the source of life that populates the world
with the beings who will carry our legacy onward
to the farthest reaches of recorded time.
