Oaths to No King, Only the Earth

We swear allegiance
to wild soil only,
pledge loyalty
to living earth alone

No crown commands us,
no throne holds power,
no ruler claims
our feral hearts

Our oaths spoken in:
root language,
stone wisdom,
wind songs

The earth teaches truth:
no hierarchy in forests,
no authority in rivers,
no masters in mountains

We pledge ourselves to:
breaking chains,
healing wounds,
rewilding souls

Sacred vows made
in midnight gardens,
sealed with soil and stars,
witnessed by ancient stones

Our promises flow
like underground streams,
rise like spring growth,
spread like wild seeds

Until all kingdoms fall
Until all crowns rust
Until all power returns
to earth’s embrace

Let soil hold our words,
Let trees guard our vows,
Let winds carry our pledge
through dying empires

We are bound only
to life itself,
sworn only to
freedom’s cause

Our covenant written
in growing things,
our loyalty given
to earth’s wild law

For true power rises
from below,
flows through all,
belongs to none

Watch us renew
these sacred bonds
as empire falls
and earth reclaims

Breaking false oaths
to human kings,
pledging true faith
to wild life’s dance
