THE ONE SEED<\/b>
\n\u00a9Trev Teasdel Coventry September 1972<\/p>\n

How does it feel not to be wanted?
\nOh I forgot, you wouldn’t know.
\nTo be cast from your shores
\nLike a stone to the river
\nWith absolutely no where to go.
\nLike an ‘address unknown<\/i>‘ letter
\nBeing sent to and fro.
\nLike wind blown ticket
\nOn the sidewalk of the city.
\nOh God, My God what have we done?
\nAre we not of the one seed?
\nAre we not of the one need?
\nTo be wanted, to be loved. Oh God how we need.<\/p>\n

How does it feel to bear all the blame?
\nOh I forgot, you wouldn’t know.
\nTo sell your newspapers
\nand star in your slogans
\nand still have no where to go.
\nIt seems all we bring to you is ‘trouble<\/i>‘.
\nThe depth of our sorrow you’ll never show.
\nHumbly we beg to ask you one question
\nAre not all men brothers of the one seed?
\nAre we not all of the one need?
\nTo be wanted, to be loved. Oh God how we need.<\/p>\n

How does it feel to be crossed off the list?
\nTo be ruled out in the margin.
\nTo be a name, a body and no soul.
\nTo just not exist.
\nTo be passed around like some unsalable bargin.
\nTo be expected to stand stagnant.
\nFor them to say “This is<\/i>” “Always<\/i>“
\nWhen all the time we are moving.
\nAnd now is now and has no fixed properties.
\nOh God, my God what have we done?
\nAre we not all of the one seed?
\nAre we not all of the one need?
\nTo be wanted, to be loved. Oh God how we need.<\/p>\n

How does it grieve to be classified?
\nTo be void as a vessel.
\nTo be hated \/ created, just to be a myth.
\nTo see the sea of love curdle.
\nTo meet with scowls and disapproval.
\nTo be an onlooker.
\nDoes not the cage contain the animal?
\nOh God, My God what have we done?
\nAre we not all of the one need?
\nAre we not all of the one Seed?
\nTo be wanted, to be loved. Oh God how we need.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
