I Am Sacred Ground

A Declaration Of Independence

by Roland Kriewaldt

Every country blows its own horn with national anthems and pledges of allegiance that amount to little more than a vow to protect our leaders and the aristocracy who owns them. I created my own pledge of allegiance; here it is.

My body, my mind — these are the country of which I am leader; the only sacred ground upon which I will fight a holy war against all intruders.

My body, my mind — these are my home where none can tell me what to do, what to think, or how to feel. No one has the right to enter my home without invitation, nor the right to control me.

I live in peace and harmony on my sacred ground — no one must invade me to restrict my freewill and freedom of choice. I will respect the sovereignty of all to protect their own sacred ground.

This is my declaration of independence and I will protect the rights of others with these laws that protect me. So help me God.
