Invasive Species

The audacity of human beings

to try to control

every.

single.

aspect of life


Including the nature of the elements

even Earth,

herself

 

How egocentric

to believe

bodies can withstand the swallow of oceans

and to forget

without water

we are merely dehydrated flesh

gasping for a sip

 

What a double standard

to embody anger and rage

but also be afraid

of tornado

as if air is only meant to be still

 

The irony

of not wanting to be burned

when everything becomes better when kissed

by fire -

passion

love

and even Heaven

 

because the attraction to euphoric afterlife intensifies

when it is kissed by the fear of Hell.
