"When Planting Seeds"

"When Planting Seeds"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I

When One plants goodness

Does not one expect goodness in return?

But the Grayness of our world

Determines the fruit that we will reap.

II

And is it not tiring that kindness

Is replaced with a broken mirror of shame?

That tolerance is brokered and tempered

by those who have ideas that are lame?

III

So Now that it is planting season

I find no Hope to plant

And I know I will reap nothing

but hey you still keep me in the end.
