Ignore me, <br />If you must. <br />But twig bearing leaves, <br />On the branches of the same tree... <br />Are we. <br />Perspectively speaking. <br />And feeding from the same trunk, <br />Rooted. <br /> <br />You may not expect, <br />The affects felt... <br />Are still ours to feel. <br />Be you filled with animosity. <br />Or a hostility you choose not to heal! <br /> <br />And the Sun that shines, <br />To absorb the rain that falls... <br />Continues to nourish. <br />Whether you decide to encourage it, <br />Or not! <br />Every single dropp of blood that spills... <br />Does not do so, <br />At the expense of your vanity! <br /> <br />You are still destined, <br />To replenish the Earth. <br />Separated to wallow away in mud, <br />Or dirt! <br />You are still destined, <br />To replenish the Earth. <br />Even those who believe they are chosen!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
