Because We Stopped

by AhchWath Ty Battle

 

Starving artists exists because we stopped supporting and feeding them

Dusty books exists because we stopped researching and reading them

Gardens don’t grow because we stopped plowing and weeding them

Living words are dead because we stopped believing and heeding them

Cases are abandoned because we stopped fighting and pleading them

Soils are dry and barren because we stopped planting and seeding them

Breads stopped rising because we stopped flouring and kneading them

Teachers stay students because we stopped needing and breeding them

Efforts are not good because we stopped exerting and deeding them

Leaders are followers because we stopped building and leading them

Because We Stopped
