ECO CHAIN

By Niyi Osundare

I

am

a

Tree

 

I

bleed

when

cut

 

*                  *                    *

I

am

a

River

 

I

puke

when

polluted

 

*                   *                        *

I

am

the

Sky

 

 

I

leak

when

assaulted

 

*                     *                         *

I

am

the

Earthworm

 

I

break

when

bruised
