The seed

Greed a seed that spouts selfish roots
They feed on what others bleed, growing isolation's shoots
Leaves that deceive, compassion lost in shade of insensitivity
Withers stem's part, containing the heart of collectivity

Misunderstood the good of individuality
Values like leaves fall, in lust's sprawl of brutality
Plagued by leaf's rust of lack of trust, fallen branches of faith
No blossom bloomed, its fruit consumed as hope turned a wraith

Sometimes individuality can benefit others. I don't like Elon Musk's politics, but a mind like his, turned in the right direction, could solve many of the world's problems.

Got ya John and I would have to concur. Thanks so much for the review. Sorry for any delay in my responses I have had a devil of a time posting or responding on this site due to server problems where I'm at so I beg pardon.

No apology necessary. At one point recently I concluded WC was a lost cause.
