This Vegetative State
By LFM
A plant may heal, a plant may kill,
‘Tis neither good nor evil.
And left alone in sweet repose
Will rarely cause upheaval.
Each has its Way along its course
As Nature would decree it,
And any good or evil there
Takes human eyes to see it.
Bent one way to human will
A plant may end your pain,
Or save the life of one you love
As hand and skill would fain.
Another plant may nourish
And well feed the belly’s need
With infusions of vitality
From but a “lowly” weed.
Another bloom, bent darker still,
May serve as ward to menace
For he of heavy purse
And mortal enemies in Venice.
For those who treat with spirits
In dark wilds scarce known to men,
Grow sprigs of Power, and what they are,
Few but the Shamans ken.
So learn the Ways of plants my son
Lest come to bitter end,
You grind things under foot on which
Our very lives depend.
