Bio-mimicry

Posted on 26th May 2020 in Poetry
People are not countries
Countries are not people
When we blame one
A well-defined entity
With natural borders
For the actions and ideas
Of a limb of Earth
Whose boundaries
are an imposition
Of said other
We turn people into objects
And objects into people
We annihilate the inhabitants
And exalt occupation
Our feet confounded
By the ground misdefined
By the head founded
In false narratives
To replace organic order
With its toxic twin
