Plant a Seed

One thing to which everything grows from 
The birth of a child, an animal roams 
A tree grows breath of fresh air 
A bird pollinate, bee sting we fight 
Plant a seed, even in yourself the soul 
A legend be to any truth and fact 
Creature inside the being it holds 
Alien or mankind's destructive self 
We kill even that which is part of 
Plant a seed, watch growth maturity 

That which we touch leaves print 
The children we raise, impression we make 
Plant a seed, deep within from darkness 
Choice to live for what ever reason 
Not given choice we watch the abuse 
Destructive society, legs spread unzip 
All about our desires, populations soars 
But more to life than just being hard 
Plant a seed, giving back what you rob 
Even to yourself the souls you kill
