WE are all working TOgether
We are all working together
The trees
The seas
The sweet honey bees
The faceless farmer who wakes at 4:00
Assuring fresh produce arrives at your door
We are all working together
The winds and rains
The sun and waves
The truckers going across the roads
Pick up another load for the community
We are all working together
The Advocates
Stewards
Guardians
Biologists
Activists
Social Justice
The people we may never meet
Improving conditions on the streets of our neighborhoods
We are all working together
There's plenty of time
There's plenty of cause
None of this work is for applause
We are all working together
The trash that washes along the shore, is not keeping score
When you bend to retrieve it and place it in a bin
Know that you have helped another voiceless being with fins
We are all working together
I know we're tired
I know it is hard
Unending
Put one foot in front of the next
Steps become yards
We are all working together
The long sorrows, and worn faces
The battlegrounds of unnamed places
Omar Tello
Devoted 40 years to replanting a rainforest
He honored the heartache
Each time he heard the trees break from being sawed
We are all working together
Let us pick ourselves up
Put on our boots
Get back out there
Following our souls' mission
We are all working together
