I just can’t stop crying

Over the lightning bugs

One of my most favorite things,

That our species is the reason

I just can’t stop being sad

About the bees

The pollinators

How we need them

I can’t stop thinking about

People being forced off of land

That belongs to no one but

Mother Nature herself

We are the same species

I don’t even watch the news

And yet I still see tragedy

After tragedy

I just want peace

I just want true freedom

I just want the bees

And dammit,

I just want the fireflies to stay forever,

I just feel despairing
