migration is what all species do–                                        

                                      butterflies and people                    

                                                      transformation is my freedom

                                                                    earth is our home

on my wings i carry the sky

the way the nature's treated is the same way

we treat each other

the reverse is equally true

save our home earth, care and guard freedoms

of her citizens – human and non-human

within the cycles of politics, social justice

and environmental change

oh wisdom keeper guide us all to alter

embrace the ethos of the nature museum

preserving each species' originality and personal connection to the world

 

dispersed across the city each butterfly

becomes a living word

an artist's journey of metamorphosis

and immigrant's story of adapting

a mirror that observes dynamics in rich diversity 

a call to action for the protection of

locally and globally imperiled habitats and lives
