They belong not to man but to the countries of junipers and sage, deep aromas, messes, and freedom


I saw a little girl sit down,
no companion by her side.

I saw a boy get pummeled down
nobody helped him out.

I saw an egg fall from it's nest
with no one to pick it up.

I saw a man get shot,
with a bullet through his head.

I saw a girl give birth
to a girl who's now my age.

Why weren't you there to help?
Why did you not care?

Why am i blaming you
When i was the one there?

Those small acts of kindness are not only possible in fairy tale books or movies, it's ACTUALLY possible to change the world, no matter how small the act.
