Despairing
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
