an anti-war poem
Powerful, beautiful, and tragic.
yes, a poem that should not need to be written
A powerful poem with the contrast between the nesting squirrel and the death trap of war; we can learn so much from nature. 🙏🏼🐿️
The squirrel never asked who belonged there.
She only knew the branch could hold a home.
Meanwhile, far below, we argue over borders
and teach the earth to carry grief.
“and teach the earth to carry grief”. yes, yes isn’t that just what we do. Thank you, Betsy
This is deeply touching — the contrast between this soon-to-be-mama squirrel and the bombs...it aches.
yes, there is such a haunting relationship between these two things happening at the same time. Thanks for reading, Kaila
Right on.
Too good!!!
Thanks, Rajani!
