WHEN A FLOWER DIES, A FLOWER BLOOMS

When a flower dies,
A flower blooms,
Where it's seed fell, it grows in a new place.

When a flower dies,
As when we die, and our soul moves on,
It opens up and unfurls into something even more beautiful,
It opens to receive all the light of love,
Like a newborn child does,
Learning all that it has to show, it's causing life to unfurl continuously,
Always moving on,
And catching someone's eye with its beauty,
'Cause what it reflects is something deeper than words could tell.

It all started from the seed that was once dropped;
-The life that all of this grew from.

WHO TO BLAME

Sometimes people question why God allows so much corruption and pain,
But isn't it that people are the ones who are not doing enough?

God gave us the simple ability to create and to help others, but instead we spend our time building guns and bombs.

What about the starving children of the world,
If anything, it seems like it is the one thing that haunts people the most,
There IS enough food in the world to feed them all,
But people are not doing enough to change things as a whole,
They're just greedy or careless,
And why is it that starving people keep adding to the population by having children who will starve,
Is it their own stupidity or are we not allowing them
to be educated enough?
And if they are living in the US, (and not another country) then babies that are unwanted are often being
aborted if possible,
Giving up a life that could have been what they were meant to be,
Paying for someone's mistake.

What about all the unwanted pets who are euthenized in "humane" societies when they have the whole rest of
their lives to live,
Why is no one looking into their eyes and seeing how valuable their life is? And seeing what really needs
to be done?
People have the power to solve the problem of overpopulation, but they don't.

Also, there are the many people who only buy pets from breeders,
Breeders who keep selling more and more animals,
Meanwhile unwanted pets elsewhere are being euthenized because of their customers buying from them.

Why is it that people still continue to buy meat?
Is it because they don't want to know the horrid life and death of these animals?
Or do they just choose to think their life is invaluable?
And why is it still legal that most major egg farmers
are allowed to keep chickens in cages the size of their body with their head sticking out a hole,
People don't have empathy,
They choose not to see how a life like that has no joy in it,
Some people don't even have empathy for their own children,
The list goes on and on.

For all these things and all that is not mentioned,
There is really no excuse,
So,
Why isn't the human race as a whole working together?
Is it easier to just accept the misfortune, or turn away, or do more damage?
It is something I don't have the answer for.

God gave us the mind and intelligence to do something positive,
But I can see that the human race has other intentions elsewhere,
In the corrupt and painful society they let be.
