For all those dreams that we each follow And strive with every effort we can possibly give For all those challenges we try and conquer But for some reason we fail and fail The doubt that lingers in our heads and in our hearts That hard work would soon deliver us And That the perseverance will soon be recognized Has skipped a beat… had left behind us With all those other distractions that keep us from attaining the one true meaning of our existence Do they hinder our most and truest capabilities To be in the dream we most aspire A Dream crushed, is a heart pounded By a Stone so hard… the heart is bleeding So when the heart stops Who then remains that is to blame A calloused stone That holds the hearts beneath it .

MOM’S SEEDLINGS My mom has a garden And a watering can to water it In the beginning , she would water The many seeds she has sown And the seeds would happily awake And then rise up to greet her They stand tall and are very strong Ready to grow and grow and grow But lately those seeds grow weaker They remain short and very small no water streaming from the can mother uses One by one the holes have closed I asked my mother what happened to the water That can that delivers ,delivers no more She turns and says I clean and clean it But the waste inside plugged up the holes The waste , the waste pollutes the air The waste, it chokes the streams and rivers The waste it is what humans throw away After Exploiting resources to no end Soon after that only one seed is growing And the rest have fallen down I asked my mother why did you let this Happen to the seeds you’ve sown on the ground? She said , I am the Earth who only holds them There are other reasons that caused them to fail I hold their roots and give them substance But the sky and wind and water became different Year after year I give them a home to root on Year after year my can like humans fail To feed and help the planets existence So Mom’s seedlings can live today March 14 2020#climatechange #climatecrisis #climatechangeisreal #storytime #storytimethreads https://www.instagram.com/p/B9yG7oSno6O/?igshid=oetnlmwkujey
