Farm hands in the field

Darkened skin of the laborer

Protesters walk by for the water

Some proclaims then scarecrows

They stand silent and still

In positions great strain

Someone proclaims them farmers

then sees their skin and labor

heavy realization

one laborer dances and waves with streched out arms

Rythmically

We walk

They give their graritude

And we walk in humility

For the water that farms need

Not farmer, Laborer

Lotus flower

In a pond of lilies

Open one hour and closed the next

Beautiful in the afternoon

We might think it'd stay open for the evening

Just reserve budding now

A lotus flower

Opens for the afternoon

Closes for the morning, evening, and night

If you choose upon one

In a sea of lillies

Appreciate it

Sit with it

For it may close on you

Shall you come back

Not all buds will bloom

Until they are ready

In the muck

In the bloom of allgee and polution

In the sea of green

Every petal unfirls

Must we be present

Must we sit with its beauty

Or walk on by to worldly pleasures
