We need to grow by reflecting the heat back into space, rather than billionaire joy rides.
We need to grow oxygen producing plants from window box planters to urban rooftops to gardens and fields free from agriculture production. We need to express our bountiful thanksgiving to an earth weary of bountifully giving.
We need to grow out of denial into the courage that comes from remembering a House Divided Cannot Stand, admitting we have become a people easily swayed by bipolar political speak, reflected in every wasteful toss and self-serving criticism.
Grow or not, we are blithely creating our weather, collapsing our democratic republic into willing serfdom, entangled in Corporatism's puppet strings choking us until earth can't breathe.
We need to grow beyond the cost of Milk, price of gas, free education and pay our past due accountability for what we've done to our home and all life upon it.
We need to grow faster than an estate tax giving our ultrawealthy - akin to plantation owners on the backs of slaves - obscene cash reserves minus jailtime at the expense of 98% of us.
We need to grow, admitting the truth that America has always been lopsided: 60% for and 40% against.

- Denial can't reactivate supply chains
- Thoughts and prayers won't resurrect global pandemic deaths.
- Expecting Independents to save earth from radicals (Right & Left) is the greatest lie we tell ourselves.
