 THE SEEDS THAT WERE PLANTED


When speaking of seeds that were planted,
I must remind you of a country's guests when they landed.
The locals, already there, lived life their own way.
They lived in unity with nature, from this they did not sway.
See the guest came in ships and landed upon the shores,
As the local people celebrated they welcomed the guests with open doors.
The guests were taken on safari's, shown all the beauty of the land.
Having seen all the natural wealth, the guests devised a great plan.
When speaking of seeds that were planted,
I must remind you of a country's guests when they landed.
The guest went home, promising to return with gifts and supplies,
But when the guests returned, they only brought weapons and lies.
The seeds that the guests planted were of lie, deceit and theft,
And before the guests had finished, there were hardly any locals left.
The seeds that were planted were negative, the damage had already been done,
But the guests didn't believe in karmic balance and only lived to have fun.
Now many years have past, the guests are unaware,
But the fruit of the seeds that they planted have already started to bear.
Now the guests are at war and there is much civil unrest,
They've continued to lie and plant negative seeds, now look at this mess.
Listen… there is a solution to balancing this negative karmic debt,
There's still time to spiritually grow, the game's not over yet.
The guests will soon realize that theirs was not the way,
And when their money soon leaves them, they will remember how to pray.
In order to achieve balance, positive deeds must be done,
The guests must give back to all they've taken from.
Not by giving money; to some, money is no matter,
The guests must perform true spiritual deeds to make the world better.
The guests should really start soon, because those negative seeds are ripening,
And overnight their way will be over, like a flash of lightening.
I state these warnings aloud so all the UNI-verse will hear,
That positive seeds must be planted even as the negative fruit appear.
Plant positive seeds of LOVE and COMPASSION, let me make this clear.
Plant positive seeds of LOVE and COMPASSION, let me make this clear.
