Are we
Not slate
Or shale
Fragile and
Easily chipped
Broken when
Dropped and
Damaged beyond
Repair are
We not
Better left
In place
Than being
Discovered I
Think not
Upon discovery
We become
And in
Becoming we
Learn our
Nature blame
Not your
Handlers for
It is
They that
Found you
And caused
You to
Be who
You are
