Analysis of Untitled 0
I move like water but I am earth
I move like waves but I am earth
When provoked or frightened
I use my only defense
The telson,
With a venomous sting
But I am earth
I am most complex
Is it such great mystery that a scorpion walks among the dirt
For the dirt is earth
And I am earth
