Gunmetal Hero Orchids

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
