You are a decent person I'm sure but a culture that normalises flights and 10 hour drives to get a dog from another country is absolutely sick. No wonder we are facing climate catastrophe, caused by the super-espoliting West!

Honestly whenever I see the expression, the 'rich West', I see mountains of bodies on every continent, whose life and labour were stolen to enrich the poverty-stricken, disease-laden British and their European cousins, as they ransacked their way around the globe. Which they are still doing. And why we are facing this climate catastrophe. It is the era of the Eurokleptocene. The species extinction began with the spread of Europeans across the face of the earth. All this is covered up when their scientists call it the 'Anthropocene'. No, you lying shits, the majority of humanity are not responsible.

We have been brainwashed by Eurocentirc technology -worshipping mindset to put down people who live closer to nature. In fact they are not backward... we are, for the 'developed' world seeks only to take and take and grow like a cancer, spreading life- pollutants everywhere.

The picture you selected surrounded by the words describing the behaviour of these malignant narcissists , was very thought-provoking, along with your poem and back story. Love your noble intention in sharing your experience and offering the Flower of Hope for a better future!

Many thousands of people in the Global South have been killed over teh past centuries of White Empire, they tried to resist Western corporations backed by Western military often training the local elites placed their by, the Anglo-American Empire and its allies, the Eurokleptocrats. Respect to the handful ofellow citizens like Wynn Bruce activists seeking to wake up their apathetic and greed-based fellow criminals, who've got comfortable living off the fruits of genocidal, ecocidal forms of 'civilisation'.
