Except for the laws of nature herself,
they speak their pieces and sing their songs
without regulations or rules.
The send up fireworks in celebration and joy
for the gift of their independence.
They worship as they please in bright carols
sung to the Yes. Their petals are flags of freedom.
They stand tall, in dignity and grateful pride.
“May all sentient beings be free,” they sing.
“May all sentient beings be free.”
