Do plants have souls
whom feel and know?

Is not their appetite for existence
evident in the ways they grow?

Do they dream with warm
remembrance in this slushy snow?

Or have I let my metaphors become
some form of reality show?
“Do plants have souls?” is a question I have been wondering for sometime. I believe plants have vegetative souls which are different than the souls of humans. Vegetative souls are less advanced but they do have their own purpose in nature, the world and our lives. As much as humans have dominion over the earth this doesn’t mean we should take advantage of it, selfishly and carelessly. We are to be useful, considerate, loving and responsible with the environment we are given. Moral superiority is in people who value plant life and cultivate the lessers in life. I’m not saying don’t eat plants because they’re people too. ha! I’m just saying, lets be  grateful for our peas and carrots!
