How to Bury a Seed

I Wasn’t Buried, I Was Planted!

You throw me in the dirt,
you think this way it hurts.

You let me in the rain,
you want me to beg again.

Your heart, smaller than a grain,
it only beats to see me slain.

You really want to give me pain?
Then take me out of the cold, pouring rain.

“I Wasn’t Buried, I Was Planted”

Inspired by the saying, ‘They tried to bury us, they didn’t know we were seeds,’ a quote often attributed to a Mexican proverb.
