    And shot my being through earth, sea, and air,
    Possessing all things with intensest love,

Those who work for plant rights

nor purchase antipeople papers.

We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood.
