GrassRoot UpRising

Asked the crowning Trees of their Grass rooting neighbors When you feel like singing while dancing are you more likely to invoke devotion to capitalism's competitions or compassion's cooperation? Responsive chords, amusing reeds and whistling thistles shyly reply When we feel most wealthy voiced and healthy choiced are we more likely to invest in red soiled cults of secular supremacy or green cultures of sacred communion? MotherTrees of crowning shade for their root systemic neighbors flexed their branching muscles groaning moaning through Earth's wind and rain, heat and pain Our best way to heal Othering smothering instincts is to repair our shared cooperative soil restoring EarthPeace soul of co-invested health Thereby growing out our shared climate with compassion's devoted wealth Sang the crowning Trees while dancing with Grass rooting up shooting neighbors.
