we are all sprung from the same celestial seed

the deafening silence of colin kaepernick

 

We are all

sprung from the same

celestial seed; all of us have the

same father, from which the earth,

the mother who feeds us, receives clear

drops of rain, producing from them bright

wheat and lush trees and the human race,

and brings forth all the species of beasts,

offering up the foods with which all

bodies are nourished to lead a

sweet life and generate

offspring…

 

Lucretius
