They were here before humans. Even before God...

We named and embraced everything as if it was ours in the entire world, even the universe.

We drew borders, separating people from each other,

We drew borders, when time came by cutting the roots underground!

We drew borders, over the nests of insects!

And then we “helped” all the living things besides ourselves,

We restricted hunting, we adopted a bird with a broken wing!

We hurt them, then called them “vulnerable”

We measured intelligence, based on our own intelligence, we said smart, we said dumb.

Everything was left for us, but from who?
