ONE

A song to fill your ears with whilst reading - A Change Is Gonna Come - Sam Cooke

It is within the Earth’s surface that I place my receiving ear

It is within the Earth’s surface that I nestle the dirt with my fingers

It is within the Earth’s surface that I water its soil with my tears

Because my receiving ear had listened intently for its soul to speak

It mourned, for its soul had been scarred by hatred

‘Hatred,’ it said, ‘deteriorates the love from one’s soul

It is love that creates the life encompassing you  

Without love dear one, my heartbeat dies

When the drumming of my core ceases,

Its vibration of death drowns your senses,

Because it is this that we must all comprehend

That our souls are one, and that we are all connected.’
