Eye to Eye.
Words by Jitro Timbang
Rosa Bonheur, The Horse Fair
“Do you see this? The madness that be?
We’re tied to your ambitions and vanity. We had hoped to have lived in harmony; lend you our powers to flourish humanity. Yet it seems we’ve been misguided by what we thought was partnership — it really was just one-sided greed.
You’ve led us to wars and battlefields. Cherry red on our silky skin; lashed out anger and destruction even to our newborn kin.
Let us free. Let yourselves be free. Live the life of prosperity we were meant to live despite the vessel the lottery’s brought us in to see.”
