Everything is built upon another.

Everything is built upon another.

One life,
several more intertwining
taking and forgetting
that the soil is nourished in water
consisting of tears.

It is all living,
be it conscious awareness
or swirling about in the wind
being carried
to fall.

It is all living
the seeds in the wind
the plants producing the oxygen
without thought
it is still life
can we remember that?

As we determine purpose
and separate the poor
and the rich
and determine whom is important
and who is less
and who needs
and who wants
because we all need
and we all crave
it is all.

The bees buzzing by,
it is the life that is
the life that should be cherished
not the life that could
it is the universe
it is the Earth
and in our death
it will be
every breath
that continues
not just the humans
with their thoughts
and intellectual intelligence.

It will be the cock roaches
the scavengers that will breath
is that what we want
to destroy ourselves
over our make believe
our fantasies
our twisted hearts
mixed up within the greed
forgetting it was meant to be easier
to live in homes
easier for all
we were not meant to be wasteful
so harmful
so greedfull
we could have shared
been better to the natives
rather than take and take
till the Earth was unable to replenish for us.

Thanks for reading.
