If you feed it,
                  it will grow

Puppies or kittens
Daisies, persimmons
Prancing and playing
Swinging and swaying

Love is a seed
                    planted with a deed

Senseless acts of kindness
Beauty that isn't mindless
Happiness and contentment
Joy and fulfillment

Fear and hate
                    yes, these will grow

From a vengeful word
Darkness is lured
Sadness and depression
Anger and aggression

If  you feed it
                  it will grow

The choice is yours and mine
And we choose all the time
A world of fear or a world of love

Seeping from below or shining from above
