Common Sparrow<p>The inspiration for today's haiku was this song by Malvina Reynolds:</p><p>God bless the grass that grows thru the crack.<br>They roll the concrete over it to try and keep it back.<br>The concrete gets tired of what it has to do,<br>It breaks and it buckles and the grass grows thru,<br>And God bless the grass.</p><p>God bless the truth that fights toward the sun,<br>They roll the lies over it and think that it is done.<br>It moves through the ground and reaches for the air,<br>And after a while it is growing everywhere,<br>And God bless the grass.</p><p>God bless the grass that grows through cement.<br>It's green and it's tender and it's easily bent.<br>But after a while it lifts up its head,<br>For the grass is living and the stone is dead,<br>And God bless the grass.</p><p>God bless the grass that's gentle and low,<br>Its roots they are deep and its will is to grow.<br>And God bless the truth, the friend of the poor,<br>And the wild grass growing at the poor man's door,<br>And God bless the grass.</p><p>2/3</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Poetry</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/SongLyrics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SongLyrics</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Persistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Persistance</span></a></p>
