TO A GREEN BODY
Your rotting reflection,
wow, we have to agree with?
You or we are racists?
This is why you find us defensive:
you tell us all that we have
isn't due to our own work,
but only because we are not green.
And perpetuating racism conservatively.
You think we are sick
with chlorophyll of millions
on our hands
and then wonder why
we are not photo-sympathetic with you.
We don't have a problem with plants.
Plants have a problem with farmers.
Most breadfruits today
(and yes I attend the secret meetings)
don't think about your race.
We don't make plots to hedge you,
oppress you.
You get extra points for nutrition and on CDC reports.
We don't complain.
You have green-only stuff,
while we have to include you
in everything or be branded.
We don't complain.
You blame us for every single blight
in your plasticity
and wonder why we don't agree.
We are racist for holding plants
responsible for morphology?
You are the problem.
