From The Lab

Plant A Life

Dig deep into the soil and grain to find
The roots of the soul, twisted, and tangled,
Entwined with lessons of time, unraveled,
And scattered throughout. Lost in the moment,
When problems are larger than life or death,
Where guides are few, (whom allow one to solve
Difficult issues by strength of advice,
Without revealing the buried answers.)
Pick up a shovel, sweat, and inspire
Others to break ground in harsh, new places;
There are treasures to find under layers,
Not to be reached with the strength of one man,
All while seconds tick by, shadows grow long,
The reaper hovers nearer. What seems short,
Is even quicker; will your mark be left
In the earth as blueprints for peace or hate?
Generations always pass, and few learn
The reasoning of age-old rocks and stones,
Overturned by those with foresight to see
Visions hidden in their muddled surface.

All is cyclical. The ebb and the flow,
Tomorrow's hero is history's fiend,
When motivation lies in blood and bone;

Would you plant the seeds of greatness today?
