We are

Hungry for life

Rainforest, teeming

Beautiful and ferocious

We are

Ignorant, with knowledge

Awake at night

Hoping to be wrong

We are

Nature, with rights

Displaced from culture

Colonised, with institution

We are

Destruction at scale

The unacceptable acceptance

Of a shifting baseline

We are

Learning to live with fire

And saltwater in our veins

Listening to the voice of nature

We are

Love and rage

Freedom with no edge

We are nature
