Slouch back to your subterranean network, my plant;
Get saved from the demented personalities of man,
Proach to depression and hide yourself
(And I'll not know when I step on you;
My culinary roots will then not find you).Save yourself, because I'm one of them:
It's not me who's keeping bugs off you.Store the little drops in your little straw gadgets,
Or build your quills to hurt me.
(You hurt me?)But you're nothing compared to me --
Your soil belongs to me,
And so does your air and the foppish sun!
(You're nothing compared to me
Because you're weak, just -- just like them).
