I do not want more
of denial.
I don’t want some sort of fix.
Just stay with me for the while.
I’ve already taken my share of pricks.

This place I am at
this place we all reside
needs more help
can be given
to bind.

The evil, the greed,
the horrendous state
leads to nothing more
than a predestined fate.

So speak to me of acceptance
no matter the birth.
Tell me the stories
as I suckle from the breast
of our mother earth.

Warm me with need
for a better place;
a better taste,

what is needed,
what could be seeded

if only
all were equally treated.
