This feeling that grips my heart
Like a tight vice
As I see the hatred
that has overtaken my country.
I miss seeing the world as I saw it when I was a child, when all was trees and green nature. Before I feared that my dog would be killed for his breed, before I knew of the deaths of coral reefs and the clearing of rainforests, before I knew how common and frequent is the sins of human beings, and how prone we are to murder, starting with all species of animals, and progressing even to each other.
