#34 – Root

Nowadays,
Skin can be dyed
Hair can be faded
Gender is dynamic
Values are adjusted – over time
Even the genome is proven not to stay the same

Addresses can be changed, of course, but the way home is one
Where there are parents
There are blood
There are brothers and neighbors.
There are root
Where they bury one’s placenta and cut the umbilical cord
Where embrace their child’s first step
Motherland, unchanged
Yesterday
Today
And forever.
