We are just seeds

Mixed in with millions

Will we ever grow?

Will we make it through?

*

So many never make it

Some just have to fake it

There is no way to know

If they will

ever let us through

*

The wind and the Earth

The rain and the sun

In the systems we are immersed

Higher ups can

control everyone

**

I am just one person

Mixed in with billions

Will I always be low?

How can I make it through?

*

So many never make it

Sometimes we just

can’t take it

Is there a way to flow

That will help us all get through?

*

Limited resources

And some greedy ones

In the system that we support

Higher ups

Control how our world is run

**

The climate and life’s forces determine every day

The river rushes fast

Coursing through

the world and our brain

*

There is so much we can do

But the world has to help us

Our thoughts

influence all we do

Let’s influence

what they ought to tell us

Higher ups

should not be cowards

and continue to sell us out

With their material power

Give them empathy and equity

Some things

To carefully think about
