No. I say no To the things you say. But also, more importantly, How you choose to say them. With the distance of tropical rains And foreign tongues of tonality Trees of exotic grains Moist with fragrant oils You speak as though you're unfulfilled An empty field of fallen flowers Full of lost beauty A shame. You once spoke like spring, Rain upon my roots No. I say no, Not anymore.

what is right to talk about
No. I say no To the things you say. But also, more importantly, How you choose to say them. With the distance of tropical rains And foreign tongues of tonality Trees of exotic grains Moist with fragrant oils You speak as though you're unfulfilled An empty field of fallen flowers Full of lost beauty A shame. You once spoke like spring, Rain upon my roots No. I say no, Not anymore.
