See the barbed wire, the tall gates, the high wall
T’was my too-trusting nature, brought about my fall
I’ve been held down, been so long enclosed
But now look, who’s shaken off all slumber and arose
Pleading and placating got me nowhere
At times, I even played dead
Anything, you know, to avoid innocents’ bloodshed.

Tricked, gaslit, and worked near to death
I was approaching my very last breath
My creed was always neither a master nor a servant be
Why then was I brought to my knees?
Life stirs as Spring sap grows and my blood boils
We are at the point of the sixth mass extinction
Who are so stupid, that they poison air, sea and soil?
Who will end the Whyte ghosts’ greed-based wars?
Now we welcome all of Nature’s Life-asserting claws.
