A meditation on

all around the world

Humans are fleeing

Home is shelter

what has been known

as home to them

is now blanketed

in bombs, coated in fire,

or drowning

this body that houses me

that carries me through life

all of this is self imposed

Our earth

who’s been begging

us to hear her song

since the dawn of industrialization

not by us common folk

who has grown tired of singing,

and screaming, and wailing

still I’m sure we are

who feel most

empathy, guilt, responsible

all I’ve known to be home

has been colonized

for generations time

the land

the body

the mind
