When a seed of anger Is placed in fertile soil Bursts of rage multiply 10 fold When a seed of hate Makes its way to a furrowed row Corruption of thought erases all reason When a seed of sadness Swallows planted hopes Desolation envelops what remains When a seed of apathy Seeps into growing life There is no longer a sense of care When a seed of passion whittles apathetic reason Energetic growth erupts When a seed of compassion Embeds itself in a garden of faith Reason supplants irrationality When a seed of joy Floats into a land of despair Then flowers of spring embellish hope When a seed of love whispers its song of comfort Then a reason for belonging is insured

As long as it yields something as sharp and lucid as this I'm good.
You reap what you so...when you plant a seed of well-constructed wordcraft, a tribute to the many means and method of harvest hopes, you allow the idea of action/reaction gardening to take root, to grow, to blossom. Beautiful, James...
Um...that would be 'sow'...though I suppose the other would work in some bizarre metaphoric fashion...
awesome piece! the seeds we plant every day have an effect on us and others in more ways than we know.
Here's the thing - some seeds are duds. I mean, seriously, not every seed germinates. Just say'n.
