A single blade of grass
Is it dead
Is it living
Is it breathing
Does it see
Does it feel
Does it die
Who draws the line
With life and death
does it feel crushed beneath the heel of the other blades of grass like we do? now you've got me thinking about ants and what they would say if only they could.
Ah, the questions. Read mine - Of Dandelions and Tears - Adeline
I like this one very much - in my mind everything has life and should be respected, even a blade of grass.
An interesting poem, puts up the question. Are we indeed walking on something alive? Are we killing it and cannot hear it's silent cries?
Of course, this brings to mind Leaves of Grass. . The smallest sprout shows there is really no death. . Out of the multitudes, mostly unseen or unthought of, every single blade, every individual asks these questions. . I like that you don't give an answer.
