We The Tree

Collaboration with Kevin Payne on IG as @areelcampaign, we came together through Video Call, and wrote this piece together, Inspired by some off the top of the head flows I had one night we talked, He has been a true friend, and an amazing supporter of my Poetry, I am proud to say we wrote this together, thank you brotha!

To be free, is to be a tree,

But how can it be, how can a tree be free, when it is placed as a seed,

and is never freed from that place, but a tree, grows from a seed, a small lifeless grain, so tiny and helpless yet so full of greatness when they grow from the ground beneath, and grow beyond the grain in the dirt, breaking through the crust of its shell,

breaking through the cocoon, and reaching for the stars beyond the sky,

the clouds up high, never getting closer it seems, but never giving up on it’s dream,

we are all a seed, no matter where you are,

don’t reach for the moon reach far past beyond the stars,

rooted so firmly and deep beneath the core,

to strengthen your inner core with far more, more as in more than you ever need,

more than you ever had before, with roots so deep and strong,

to take you where you belong, shooting you so far beyond the stars,

a shooting star shooting past mars, leading with reaching, and through its breaching, lead by dreams far past beyond the seeds of need, when need,

is what a tree grows with, to succeed, so different than greed,

released from the underground in the ground of the terrain surround,

that is all around,

planted in the ground to make your stand,

to withstand all natural or unnatural disasters,

and still stand where you are grand and own your land,

never in the power of any others hand, because need, is your feed, if you can believe, need is nourishment to feed your need, not with greed,

but with the belief that the falling leaf will grown again the next season when it comes back to regain,

from the size of a grain, to remain the same, but stronger the longer it remains,

fueled by need, fueled by selfless giving, by the forgiving,

the love of the selflessness putting you above…

Because the the need is so far greater than greed, and to need is to succeed,

and greed is to be unneeded.

The need to be watered, the need for the light shining from the sun,

the need for the nutrients that give us a place to belong, to grow strong,

can never be wrong.

But greed, greed is so unhappy with just one seed,

greed is the weeds that feeds on the needs of the greens in the growth,

of the seeds it needs,

because a seed will grow in a place where growth is as endless as dreams,

but greed, grows on the growth of the grown seeds, greed is feared,

by its selfish need, greed cannot succeed without stealing for it’s need,

greed cannot earn, greed never learns, greed burns everywhere it turns,

it yearns to have what is had by the seed, greed feeds on your need,

Because, to be a seed is to need, and that is how you feed to succeed,

but to have greed is to want, to want what you cannot grant, to want what you rant, when you want what you don’t have, what you do not need, to want what other’s need, when you have no reason to lead to need, but lead by greed,

because the need from a seed, grows strong in it’s place,

knowing it belongs where it’s placed,

and the need for being watered and the need for the light never leaves,

but when the leaves grow bountiful and plentiful so beautiful boundless and selfless, just like the ever lasting love from above, the lovely almighty god himself,

who made life with his essence,

with water to flourish in the gift of beauty,

returned with fruitful regeneration far greater than any nation,

for the greatness of the next generation to come from what you become,

how you became out of the same essence of life as the one who holds the name,

a name above all names, the king of kings, the wings to your spirit,

and the heavenly angels sing, to make your soul sing, and your spirit king,

all from the seed as small as a grain, to grow to be a tree,

to be purely and so truly free, with the purity of selflessness giving to your need, feeding not just your life, but all life around you, creating breathable air,

fresh and clean, bringing shelter for those who need,

helpless creatures you feed by your seed, and even still,

feeding the greed of the weeds, hungry with the hunger for your success,

still succeeding, and never bleeding, because believing is relieving,

and the belief in need from a seed, grows to be a tree,

scratching the sky with its boundless endless reach so high past the clouds,

because the mind is never clouded, when essence of life is mended and bounded, and when your faith, becomes your fate, and you are surrounded,

by it’s divinity with eternity, where you are grounded,

when your cosmology is the need of a seed, eternal and divine,

immortal and with the immorality of the principality,

giving you further more than beyond reality,

of the essence of life that will never depart,

because life is the seed in your heart that you impart,

to what made forever,

only just a start.

If I give more of my own self, and take less for myself,

and share it through out all who fall with my seeds,

to be fed by any need,

to give far more than many’s geed.

A Seed, Fed By Need, Is Freed,

To Be A Tree, Is To Be Free

To Need Is To Be A Tree To Be Free

To Want, Is To Be Unwanted, Granted

Want Is Only Fed By Greed

Need Is Led By How It’s Planted

A Life Granted
