I love the last line as it says it all and this metaphor is profound and powerful, a poignant write Lisa, so many go with the flow and few stand up and are counted to change the status quo. Love Dolly x

Well said! Those "spineless leaves of grass" are swayed by the wind like people who are swayed by the latest conspiracy theories. Best wishes in the contest!

Spineless leaves (sugg: blades) of grass are swayed--Brilliant imagery and alliteration. Spot-on title for the theme. Consider taking the pic to the Photoshop and tweaking the trees to orange and the grass to red.

I've put 'leaves of grass' there on purpose to reference Walt Whitman's poetry collection title, which was about his philosophy of life and humanity. Yes, red grass would be appropriate.
