Come with me
Come with me,
To a place where you'll be free
Fields of gold
Fields of gold
Rows of stories still untold
You built me in desperation
You put me up in salvation
I thwarted many of foe
I protected every row
You dressed me every season
You made sure I had a reason
I never moved from my post
I always protected you from most
You picked me up
Stand and all
You packed me up
For the haul
You pitched me up
In the fall
I gazed upon a new strange place
You had moved us far and safe
I stood tall and watched them grow
You cut them down row by row
You never came back from town
I waited for crop to become grown
You never came back to the field
I watched as it soiled under my shield
A familiar face pulled me from my place
A familiar packing for long trekking
A familiar sound as time went around
A familiar face when I was free from my case
A place that had fields all around
A place that my roots dug deep in the ground
A place that I began feeling more alive
A place that I could finally call mine
The world around began to change
My friends I had made began to fall
All around I could see many a wall
The world around started to become strange
This encroaching enemy was megalithic
Every day the ground would shake intensely
New dawns brought new developments
New sunsets brought more insensitivity
The familiar face that placed me to hold
The rows I cherished with their gold
The children I watched over in their fear
The harvest I waited for each and every year
It was all in danger
I was filled with anger
It was going to take us all
I was going to save us all
My body had grown roots over time
I felt the anger of all my friends crime
The earth spoke to me in the night
It's words pushed me to do right
"Briskov, it's time to fight."
For generations I opposed the evil
For generations I terrified the enemy
For generations I watched ever vigilant
For generations I stood in horrid silence
To fight this new evil at hand
I had to become the evil I condemned
With a hard gust over these sacred rows
I was uprooted and removed from this hallow
With the night mother shining bright
With the ravens song echoing at night
With the sorrow of the lost all around
With the anger of the lands ground
Their machines sunk deep in the soiled ground
Their containers fell over with the winds pound
Their progress ruined as the rains drowned
Their purpose crushed by nature's rebound
Every night I was brought to life
Every day they looked in fright
For months I waged this war
For months I engaged in terror
For months I crippled their plans
For months I was the one at hand
On the final night of my actions
I set myself back into my hold
I heard a voice of mutual attraction
It spoke to me like before I became bold
"Briskov, it is time to rest."
The next day the ground shook
Their trucks arrived with purpose
The machines grappled with hooks
The containers picked up for newer surface
The earth grew back lush with time
I watched as its owner was now granted
In the fall a new friend showed up across mine
The rows of rebirth had been planted
One month later an evil stepped onto my land
It's feet made the soil turn with every step
The familiar face of mine declined his hand
I watched as he pointed to mine with a threat
Before he left he looked towards my place
With one last act of evil to this aggressor
I turned to get his attention on my face
He was horrified by my grotesque stature
I left him with a single wink
Maybe next time he will think
Before he tries to steal next time
I am Briskov and this land is mine
Farmland across the United States and many other countries around the world is being seized illegally by builders. If we do not stop building on these lands, we will have a country of buildings but no food to feed the ones that live there. We have to keep the farmlands as they are and return the land that has been stolen. If you see people protesting for farmland, leave them alone or join them. At the end of the day, they are the ones feeding us. We take the land away, we might as well sign our own death certificate. Support your farmers, if not, Briskov will terrorize you in the night time.
