Gunmetal Hero Orchids
Jan Juránek
I've always admired the determination
Of those hero orchids, gunmetal black
Even if I myself am a lily, white as fresh milk
I long longed to understand their crimsen
No one can own you
If you own yourself first
So take yourself as you would
A fragile yet strong orchid
They exclaim
We can't breathe
We can't breathe
We can't breathe
And they're right
No matter whose side you are on
In this fight, there are no sides
There are only wilting gunmetal orchids
And pesticides policing that justice not be done
