If I killed a cockroach, spider or worm
No one would bat an eye
But if I laid my killing hands on something
As sweet as a butterfly?
Then I’m a monster through and through
My soul it must be black
The creatures were the same, in the way it mattered
Neither were fighting back
When did it become fair to use ‘pretty privilege’
To choose if something dies
The new aesthetic standards of morality would
kill you for your ugly cries
Is this the kind of society you want to live in?
Where you must be hot
But even if you are the be prepared for the nets
Put on display for all the lot
Because for every butterfly there are it’s collectors
Even they don’t get a pass
From the messed up system in this goddamn world
Pinned up behind glass
Or you are murdered without second thought
Make your choice
Both strip you of your own autonomy
And of your voice
