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
