Lessons from the Grass

Blades of grass are numerous
They're diverse and in nature grow strong
We can profit from thier living example
In the joys of getting along

Warefare grips our existance
Hatred abounds in full view
Mistrust and doubt are our masters
Bleeding the good that we do

Not yet have we become fully human
We are none better than our kin before
The way of life we prize as the ultimate
Is deeply mired in yesterday's lore

We're still babes in lives of true knowledge
Unlearned are our lessons of life
Unknown and ignored are the answers
Which can quel discompassion and strife

Somehow I think we might triumph
With a vision empowered by will
We only need swallow our medicine
Because love is powerful pill
