A Poem by butterfly

Natural gray curls shine like a classic strand of pearls
Funny what you see in the news about the girls
George Clooney and Sean Connery didn't get that coverage for gray hair
The world is often funny and unfair
if we speak up and point it out
we are as daring as grey clouds
Sometimes we just need a moment to talk about
is color even real now
we had an orca black and white
live in captivity for 52 years of her life
not much coverage in the news
we are in a humanity where bombs and atomic bombs are made
but for a living beautiful creature living without shade is ok
We are bad a*s when we the shine from gray hair
yet when capturing Tokitae and Tilikum we see the limits of the human brain
its a shame that orcas became the teachers
while most of the assaults come from the millionaire leaders
I learned to endure on my own
without shade or shadow
Tokitae showed me how
Tilikum and Hugo were more aggressive
You would be too if they made you live in a concrete pool
when will we learn that tanks can never be the ocean
they think the ones crying over the orca is a fool
in this endless commotion of news
who are you
who are we
when we only see
the girl with the grey curls
distracting us with beauty that shines like pearls
sometimes its good
sometimes it makes us wonder about the world
as we see the words written on the page
We can build atomic bombs and build castles from sand
yet we couldnt lend a hand to freeing a whale
so clear is the limits of the human brain
when the teacher is an orca teaching us how to endure on our own through the most shame again and again
with grace, with a smile, with kindness, I want to color myself with this likeness. 
who are we
who are you
in this endless commotion of news
