To occupy is to take by force
To forcibly remove someone
To take up space
Claiming your territory
Or even your space
There have been many occupations in history
Most of them where done through force
Most of the people who were being occupied
Never really had a choice
If they wanted to be occupied or not
We as humans have a tendency
Of wanting to occupy
Of wanting to take over
Wanting to convert and destroy
Instead of trying to learn
Learning from each other
Sharing our resources and our ideas
Instead of trying to live in harmony with the land
With the animals
With the sea
With each other
We would rather subjugate and destroy
Until there is nothing left
We must think a lot less like occupiers
Trying to control our space
Trying to control each other
And trying to live in harmony and peace
