RewriteCOP > What is the state of play on key COP28 issues? > The Undying Change by Rudy Jr. C. Calera
Careless, mindless,
Alternating my thing.
Wanted, needed, but never showed kindness.
Modification is just what they think.
Touching, milking,
Twitching my parts and belly.
Exposing the hideous sight—
Giving reasons not to be liked.
Palpitating, dying,
Excruciating pain is what I feel.
Partly, surviving—
But, can’t guess what’s next.
“Flabbergasting, Amusing”,
That is what they are saying.
Truly, I’m losing—
A fight that I can’t convey anything.
Avant-garde, contemporary,
Exposing my new capabilities.
Sadness, cruelty—
Extreme adjustment will be received by the
majority.
