My head down I do not see around to compare my lawn with yours. Constantly on knees priming the earth. Yellow stains form patches to overtake the green Dig, Pat, water, snip Yet to take a peak across the street Pick weeds and plant seeds for regrowth Flowers dance when the sun sings Thorns scheme mow, pat, water, snip the wind carries the fragrance of her lillie’s Feet nestled, grass soft in between toes season change, leaves fall the trees are bare rake, rake, snip, water Birds chirp, gray skies and the water over flow Drowning are the seeds deeply rooted the wind carries the fragrance of wood burning and marshmallows Guitars, song, beer, joy Off of my knees, eyes wide I glare at what we have built. My grass is natural...it’s real.. It’s perfect I turn left then right shocked at the site.. All was artificial

Watered Grass
Water flows in the heart that knows Pride inflated chest, humility hasn’t shot him yet Walking around with a lighter nose Heaven knows where egos go When pride is demoralized to its lowest low Live life like a fool always want to know more A hungry scholar will educate his mind To study ancient history Because even he knows, he knows nothing at all To avoid the fall he needs to know about those who fell before Knowledge is power and ignorance takes it away weakening the soul, forcing you to fall So which will you feed more? your humility or your ego                                                                        - Tuffy M
