When what we sow is what we reap
The energy will feed and seed
The whole
I am collective
Out of darkness, rising light
Looking through another’s eyes
Asking why and listening
Talking less, understanding
What we sow is what we reap
The energy will feed and seed
The whole
I am collective
Break the cycle, share the view
With respect, each has their truth
Loving from an open heart
A symmetry of equal parts
For what we sow is what we reap
The energy will feed and seed
The whole
I am collective
As we heal
As we grow
As we feel
And let it go
In peace
Collectively
In love
A unity
This energy will feed and seed
The whole
I am, we are
Collective

Lethal Nightmare Fuel
For Sandra Hawthorne, she was supposed to be just mere days away from what would be the happiest day in her life. For three years, Sandra had been dating the love of her life, Anthony Farley, and it was after all that time that Anthony popped the question. The proverbial knot was set to be tied after a year of planning, but instead of enjoying wedded bliss, Sandra had spent the last three days in the hospital.
