Today I defect and join the squirrels
They live in trees with no
building permits cops jails or taxes
I have seen treehouse masters and wholeheartedly agree
Trees make much better foundations
Than concrete
Free
The squirrels know how people are
Stay away from most of them
At least arm’s length
Many will kill you eat you run you over
Only a few in a lifetime
Say hi and share peanuts
Free
Like we plant the forests
Not effing Weyerhaeuser
Squirrels take care of family
Adopt each other’s babies
Communicate with the heavens
Look up out high alert the forest
Predators are coming
Smoke fire storm
Squirrels see the world and speak
Plan for the future keep
Scatter seeds
Chatter and whip their tails around
Yep that’s me
Defected to the squirrels
Free
