The BlackBird Song

This is the story of how a giant tree turned into a seed, but no two seeds are alike. The last story you knew, the seed sent a root to the shrub and the flowers that sat under the shrub climbed on that shrub and together they joined that seed root. It’s when this seed knew of its history it decided to break the cycle and not give that shrub its root. When the shrub told the seed to come its way, it told the shrub it was okay and it will just grow slowly. The shrub didn’t understand why that seed didn’t send its root, the seed said shrub I want to tell you a story. Shrub the same way you heard me fight underground and I won my war and I’m growing in peace in the dark, so it’s okay I will accept my tree won’t carry the same style it once had. Shrub the last time I trusted you and allowed your roots to join my side, you allowed the same woman that tried to kill me underground back in the family. You even told me to share my seat with her because she was the opposite of me, shrub those same flowers you sit next to betrayed me and you and the flowers overthrew me from the same root I started. Shrub those flowers you sit next to all attacked me too. Shrub the last heaven we had was destroyed by everything that sits over me and they turned me into the seed, they are older than me because I had to start over. Shrub the heaven we use to have was full of life and joy but it turned into a wicked place because once you made me leave the woman you allowed in the family overthrew you with those flowers in that family. Blackbirds flew in and sat on that tree we once called the family. I said who are the blackbirds, I learned that the blackbirds were the children of the seven wives that you made in heaven. The children were abused in heaven so the children overthrew their mothers along with that god, you called your second wife. The children stopped being children and were the grown-ups who had to work in heaven, babies that couldn’t even enjoy their childhood. The children that supported the seven wives left when they did and on earth, they caused so much misery and terror, for they used stolen magic from that magical tree for so long the people on earth bowed and accepted thieves as their Gods. Shrub I went back to that magical tree that once was the life and I saw blackbirds sitting on that tree and they told me to leave because they have no good luck because they are the children of the seven wicked wives. Shrub I looked at those blackbirds and I taught them the history of that tree and told them they were stolen from me. Shrub you see, I don’t need you or those flowers you sit by because in my gene sits everything you have because I was hit spiritually by what sits underground and what once sat in those heavenly seats, yes shrub I’m aware they can see and hear just fine and can even see in the future so they lived a life watching my life throwing obstacles in my way, setting traps for my future. Shrub another one of your flowers understood I became weakened once you had betrayed me and had me thrown out of my seat, so it created a spell to steal every man that came my way, shrub so I sit in many men, shrub your flowers entered relationships with every man I had been with assuming they would gather the same life I had once before, shrub those women took those men and destroyed the man mind, so men that were once powerful leaders became the weakest men that walked on earth. Shrub your other flower understood it needed for me to die, so it attacked me but it wasn’t able to kill me, so it said it decided try to make me look weak because nobody wants a weak leader, so they sent thieves to steal from me. Shrub your other flower understood I am intelligent so it formed a group and went and fought all the other flowers that had bothered me but it didn’t give back what was mine it kept it and said it decided to be in charge, fighting for power became the new thing, convincing everyone around that they too deserved a chance to sit on that seat, so they said let’s take a vote. All the children lost faith in that team and turned away. Shrub you and your flowers did so much damage to me in heaven and on earth, that this time when I grew my new plant I would grow alone, I understood the second wife you took destroyed heaven, I went to the blackbirds that never left the tree and taught them to sing, I taught the blackbirds many things so together me and the blackbirds fixed heaven, the babies had no food to eat so I turned into a bee and made honey, the babies had nothing to drink, so when I grew up from my seed I turned into the coconut tree and gave them milk. The babies are special to me, so special I told them they are to never work but be babies that run and play around that tree all day. The babies started singing in a choir and said we used to have concerts! We want to have a big concert and they said Mommy can you tell all the people on earth that if they don’t steal kill or destroy they can come to our concert and listen to us sing our song, on why the black bird do fly too, no two are alike.  The shrub said seed, you love to say no two are alike but you treat me like the last shrub, seed send me your root because I understand you are not the fraud, and destroying is the last thing I will do. The seed thought long and hard about everything and said the spirit said never allow the past shrub to control your future, never allow the worst mistake to make you turn away from your destiny, and be that free spirit that takes risks because no matter how the story end, you will understand why you became the favorite grandmother in the end.
