An earthseed poem by Octavia E. Butler

[godischange]

This is a poem that is the main thng for Earthseed members. I may post more poems under this thread later.

Here we are-

Energy,

Mass,

Life,

Shaping life,

Mind,

God,

Shaping God.

Consider-

We are born

Not with purpose,

But with potential.

I like this one because it just feels so out there, it makes you feel so small, but yet, unstoppable. There is so much you can do! Take the opportunities as the come!

Ha! I KNEW you were inspired by her!!! I have a few poems that are very similar to the stuff she wrote in Parable of the Sower and its sequel. Except, of course, I was much younger (12), so they sound a lot crappier. One of them is actually on this site...somewhere...
