The Seeds of Today – Mark Bishop Evans 2019

All of the flowers of all the tomorrows are held in the seeds of today
All of the schemers have moments they borrow without much intent to repay
All of the highways in all new directions are open to all who would go
All of the travelers have different perceptions but still they must walk the same roads

All of the greedy who mortgage the future pretend to be deaf to the sound
Of regular people, the peasants and paupers forced to give ever more ground
And all of those moments define our existence yet fade in the blink of an eye
As pillars of power compose the resistance to anything money can’t buy


We are all reflections of the colors chosen yesterday
And we are choosing colors for the future in all that they say
Everyone’s a child of the past
And the parents of a future forecast
For all the tomorrows are held in the seeds of today

All of the rivers are clogged by the refuse from all our disposable lives
While all of the towers continue to spew ooze corrupting the earth and the skies
All of the oceans are gradually rising to someday consume all the land
If we can’t accomplish the task of deciding perhaps, we deserved to be damned

All of the soldiers with all of their medals lie buried or waiting to die
While all of the kitchens with all of their kettles hide widows too lonely to cry
All of the children inherit our sorrows and then must survive what we’ve made
For all of the flowers of all the tomorrows are held in the seeds of today
