Someone planted the seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before that, plowed the field to plant the seeds<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before that, bought the tractor, to plow the field, to plant the seeds,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before that, acquired the land, bought the tractor, to plow the field, to plant the seeds<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before that, studied farming, acquired the land, bought the tractor, to plow the field, to plant the seeds
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
~ ~ ~<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Somewhere the wind is blowing on a field made ready for the planting of oats<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As she eats a bowl of oatmeal, drizzled with honey<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That came from a box<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shipped from a factory<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Processed by a mill<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And before that someone planted the seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
~ ~ ~<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She eats as she browses the web<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Without thought or gratitude<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the planting of the seeds<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That she is me.
