Apples from Fox Path by The Herbal Remedies

I am breathing, breathing, breathing
Oh this debt that I owe the universe
This life-giving life-giving life-giving life that I never deserved

I belong to the people who raised me
And
To the earth that provides, that provides
I belong to humanity choked on our vanity, blinded by pain and by fear of more pain

I remember a future where soil was precious as spirits of children
Which in turn were as dear as consent from a woman
I haven’t forgotten the past that still lives in the prisons and suits and the black combat boots

You can’t even imagine the apples you’ll have in six years or ten
If you plant your tree now

From that one tree you’ll feed all your neighbors, too many to pick
They’ll need to bake pies

Remember the future you hold in your mind’s eye.
As you walk through the world, it emerges
