White turtle doves
across electric wires
underneath the earth
cracks and conspires
to make sense
of how stainless creatures
can roam unaffected
whilst the world
burns and forests
are neglected,
when will we think
of creatures other
that ourselves?
when did we become
less than earth’s
caretakers?
I pray for those that lack empathy. I pray that people learn that empathy, is an emotion of the spirit. It can’t be taught, or manipulated. I pray for a time when empathy is no longer performative, but genuine. When emotions aren’t taken for granted, and when life becomes sacred.
