The Seed You Plant Is The Seed You Grow

When a seed of anger
Is placed in fertile soil
Bursts of rage multiply 10 fold

When a seed of hate
Makes its way to a furrowed row
Corruption of thought erases all reason

When a seed of sadness
Swallows planted hopes
Desolation envelops what remains

When a seed of apathy
Seeps into growing life
There is no longer a sense of care

When a seed of passion
whittles apathetic reason
Energetic growth erupts

When a seed of compassion
Embeds itself in a garden of faith
Reason supplants irrationality

When a seed of joy
Floats into a land of despair
Then flowers of spring embellish hope

When a seed of love
whispers its song of comfort
Then a reason for belonging is insured
