Not just in the heavenly realms-
I live in the here and the now,
And although I'm a humble man,
I will not bow down
To an idol, a dogma, a government
Who seeks to dissolve us
Of our personal power because-
"They're solving the problem?"
I will not bow down.
To tell you the truth,
I'm too busy working,
My hands are hurting,
From turning,
And toiling the soil,
There's a vast richness in the earth,
And I'm not talking about oil.
Instead of a black snake,
A toxic element of darkness,
I will do my best,
And work my very hardest,
To shoot roots through the soot,
And from the ashes.
Grow a garden.
