Some people grow
Like evergreen trees
A hybrid of eagle and wolf
Soaring
Carrying others to safety
Free from an oppressive past.
Technology, evolution, science,
An alliance
Of progression.
Others choose to remain trapped
In the past,
Bitter from the rigours
of climate change.
An apocalypse,
Fear of karma
Crippling guilt…
And decay.
The irony is that in seeking to protect themselves
from the ills of the past,
Those who stunt their own growth
Do to others,
What they fear will be done to them.
Jumping the gun.
Proactive.
Slaughter.
The circle.
