Work started on this more than a week ago for Diversity Saturday. I composed lyrics to a very different song, and it didn’t feel right until this week.
The lyrics are embedded in the video on other sites. If you’re inclined, I’d LOVE for you to check out the full experience, and my interpretation at any of the following:

The Butterfly Effect (El Efecto Mariposa)
Fleeing, hiding...proof never satisfies the ask
We’re no criminals—we ain’t the ones wearing a mask
Heart beats faster than our running feet
One stroke to erase… Click… Delete…
Checkmarks left unchecked
By the Minister of Quota and Task
Our tragedies sung by civilized tongues
Composed of lies, lyrics meant to demonize
Forebearers send wings that break our skin
So we may flutter free just like butterflies...
Away from predators who pay for no sin
Whose wages rise by stealing others’ breaths
To them: just another nobody’s death
Teach us rhythmic flight patterns of erratic dance
Designed by nature, giving us a surviving chance
To escape the certain fate of vulturous neglect
On wings echoing - only love - carried by
The Butterfly Effect
El Efecto Mariposa
