Thou shalt not

But the land

But the water

But the mountains

But the wildlife

But the trees

But the corn

But the coal

But the knowledge

But the spirit

But the women

But the names

But the scalps

But the salves

But the children

But the bison

But the gold

But the bodies

But their breath

But their muscle

But their knowledge

But their loins

But their wombs

But their babies

But their milk

But their kin

But their ken

But those acres

But them mules

But their crops

But their spirit

But their language

But their music

But their movement

But their leaders

But their skin

But their freedom

But their swagger

But their dollars

But their numbers

But their vote
