Fertile Soil

Let’s dive into our mind
Look around – perhaps nothing is as it seems
There’s a unique perception
An amalgamation - of what we call me

Like rich fertile soil
Brimming with potentialities
Nature verses nurture
So grow the seeds

The roots grow deep
Manifesting in the subconscious mind
Breaking the surface
Revealing the crops – behavior becomes defined

The harvest can be bountiful 
We truly reap what we sow
The health of the product
Contingent on the knowledge we know

Thoughts left undiscerned
The weeds spread like wild vines
Effecting the crops
Damaging – the internals in our mind

So let’s dive inside
Look around and take a mental note
Let’s clarify our perspective
Our humanity – our future will grow

If you don’t like the crops
Take action – not poetic hyperbole 
It’s all in our mind
An amalgamation of you and me
