Will You Be a Comrade?

Sometimes people say "idiot,"
when they're on the internet. 
So, I come to the forest.
Take a break from computer screens.
Trees don't spout ableist slurs.
They throw the good kind of shade.
Plants don't call people "morons." 
They just live and let live. 
Sometimes people try to
defend awful systems. 
They say money is necessary.
Call me "dumb" when I say it's not. 
So, I come to the forest. 
Trees do no bootlicking. 
Plants are comrades forever.
Trees do no bootlicking.
Laws of nature need to be obeyed. 
Laws of physics rule. 
Money is a human social construct that needs to go.  
We don't need money. Money is a lie. 
We don't need money. That, you can't deny. 
Plants are comrades. Animals are comrades. 
Will you be a comrade too? 
Sometimes people are nationalistic,
when they're on social media. 
So, I come to the forest.
Take a break from computer screens. 
Trees don't say "America first."
They soak up rain to quench their thirst.
Plants are not xenophobic. 
They just live and let live. 
Sometimes people try to
defend awful systems. 
They say borders are real.
Call me "dumb" when I say they're not. 
So, I come to the forest. 
Trees do no bootlicking. 
Plants are comrades forever.
Trees do no bootlicking.
Laws of nature need to be obeyed. 
Laws of physics rule. 
Borders are human social constructs that need to go.
We don't need borders. Borders are a lie. 
We don't need borders. That, you can't deny.
Plants are comrades. Animals are comrades. 
Will you be a comrade too?
