the laws of nature
By Zara O
you told me people were forests
but you never told me people are the creeping vines
constricting, compressing and contracting my light
i ask you to tear them from my branches
you laugh and say
thats the way of the jungle
you told me to remember my roots
but you never told me about the rot
the war between established and introduced
i beg you to change
you aren't listening anymore
