Concept

when you see a litlle boy 
drawing carts and painting pictures
 or a little sister weaving the hair of her teddy
bless them with the ink of their style.

When you see a son enquiring into his fathers death 
or a daughter smilling to motherhood,
show them the road to heaven, for it's more than reading the bible,
as hero's print can spell these clearly.

Am in a world 
where potency is planted in all seeds
but fear of dry season has cut down her shot.
and we cry of tomorrow when today is unused, 
speak of evil when our angels 're lay to rest
