Parable of the Soils

It’s got a call like gravity

tugging deep inside us.

anchoring one to the ground and centered

It’s a tether to reality

the key to combating anxiety —

Like the taproot,

if left unchecked

what once was sweet

soured.

Sucking up all bad

killing man like flowers.

It matters where ones planted

A parable of soils explains,

our roots affect growth.

Like friends committing treason

and home infested with weeds

suffocate, killing us out from underneath.

Never soaring like a bird with clipped wings.
