Healing the human cancer

As a malignant growth
or an invasive tumour
so may other creatures
experience the growth 
of human population
being like a cancer
on the face of the world.

Healing begins
with each of us – 
with me –  recognising 
that we are just one
among the creatures
needing to respect 
the others in diversity.
