We are the result of a seed.
A seed that went through rigorous obstacles.
From being buried in total darkness of a place
Unbeknownst to the petite beginning-
Only to be submerged in water or lack thereof
In order to endure the waves of Summer
or the cold touch of Winter.


Such tasks could only be achieved
Through the entirety of a mental status
Of perseverance to complete such an obligation.
Risking self-life, or so we blindly see, as it had no choice.
To what degree would you go to complete such obligation?


Our Oxygen handler had no path to choose from.
For his was a prerequisite.
And yet, due to him, we use our ability to choose.
To choose his utter destruction all because of greed.
Greed produced by us depleting our support.


Open your eyes and look around you.
We would not exist without that seed.
We would not strive without that seed.
We would not feel without that seed.
We WILL NOT survive without that seed.


So stop while you are ahead before
It’s too late and we cannot regress
Our imminent doom of such a precious support.
