"A Cabbage Moth"


This is the land of change
This is the land of change
In this place, inspiration comes in bouts of sunshine
Peace of mind in sprinklets of water
Each pulled weed, a problem solved
Each petal bloomed, a better way of life
And the soil births self-respect
Self-love, self-love-love-love
This place brings forth our colors, our shining colors
A glimmer or two or twelve in the sun
Yes, this is the land of love
In this place knowledge thrives
Dirt-colored and rich
Well taught and used
And trust is not an acquired taste
But rather a helping hand
Like each butterfly fluttering by
And I say
Catch butterflies, moths
25 cents a pop
25 cents a pride
And gently fly like them
Ascend timelines, exceed limitations,
Stereotypes, nice clothes and clean nails
Grow like them, Caterpillars, grow!
Cry upon the shoulders of your coworkers
Forget mascara stains
Forget masculinity
Rip up those cool cards, Caterpillars
And chase lovetears, lovehugs,
Lovely lovecriticism
Chase tails, chase knowledge
And flood flower beds with what you've learned
