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
