Moments Before Time Stands Still

We planted new seeds, beads of hope desperate to save the parched and cracked soil.
We said no to the corporations and men in the towers who sold our land in search of profit.
We stood and sat and slept on the highways, caravans of people stretched across the streets.
We whispered to the stars, and listened to stories of universes much like ours, that had been destroyed by greed.
We apologized for all harm we caused, we didn't know. We didn't know.
And in that moment we rose our hands to the sky, across the nation, united as one with the earth.
