the earth here
sees you as a thief
an animal with teeth
they won't look underneath
but the little kid
does not care
How are you? Yes, you, right there.
he sees you as a friend
or a teacher maybe
with life lessons daily
he tamed you
and you tamed him
majestic you are
protecting you will
you are everyone at once
with the right balance

"You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed."
