Emily Dickinson and Daisy Poems Movie, Image, and Description for poem #85

“They have not chosen me,” he said,
“But I have chosen them!”
Brave – Broken hearted statement –
Uttered in Bethlehem!

I could not have told it,
But since Jesus dared –
Sovereign! Know a Daisy
Thy dishonor shared!

Description

When you go to pick a daisy or a flower, it is actually the reverse, the daisy has picked you. “You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you.” God is in the Daisy. God is in all the living creatures. You did not pick the land you live on, the land picked you, we are the guests. When you kill and torture innocent animals and land for the sole purpose of self economic gain, the broken hearts of those living creatures and their descendants will be your burden to bear. 

It is time we give the land back to the land!  Let the land and wild animals prosper before we kill and destroy everything that is responsible for giving us life.
