Y’know I haven’t done a photography post in a while. I am beginning to miss the art form. I thought I would give Cee’s Which Way Challenge a try. To see other ways people have expressed themselves for this challenge please go to http://ceenphotography.com/2013/11/13/cees-which-way-challenge-no-13/
Here are my thoughts on the subject:
The Lorax said nothing. Just gave me a glance…
just gave me a very sad, sad backward glance…
as he lifted himself by the seat of his pants.
And I’ll never forget the grim look on his face
when he heisted himself and took leave of this place,
through a hole in the smog, without leaving a trace.
And all that the Lorax left here in this mess
was a smal pile of rocks, with one word…
UNLESS.”
Whatever that meant, well, I couldn’t guess.
That was long, long ago.
But each day since that day
I’ve sat here and worried
and worried away.
Through the years, while my buildings
have fallen apart,
I’ve worried about it
with all of my heart.
“But now,” says the Once-ler,
“Now that you’re here,
the word of the Lorax seems perfectly clear.
UNLESS someone like you
cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get better.
It’s not.
“SO…
Catch!” calls the Once-ler.
He lets something fall.
“Its a Truffula Seed.
It’s the last one of all!
You’re in charge of the last of the Truffula Seeds.
And Truffula Trees are what everyone needs.
Plant a new Truffula. Treat it with care.
Give it clean water. And feed it fresh air.
Grow a forest. Protect it from axes that hack.
Then the Lorax
and all of his friends
may come back.”
The Lorax- Dr. Seuss
If you never have read this you should give it a try. If you never do do it you will never know why! 🙂
