Captured Flowers Suffering

Actions and consequences of flowers.

Captured Flowers Suffering

And then the snow came whispering

“Death to all fragile things in root!”

Brute force aided by ice ages legacy

Fall to the place where zeros go

To war zeros plunge far below barometers

March off with visions of marigolds immortality

In measure, conjuring up lost worlds

Like magicians who make things disappear

And into history things go missing

Prisoners of their own devices cry

Flowers should know better then to grow

In environments less hospitable than Earth

Frozen hell is no place to raise their young

Shivering becomes unworthy of a word

Temperatures like cold keep tumbling

Planets and plants know their depths

Which takes them to new lows

Conditions not worthy of them both

“And Now!” “Uproot yourselves!” “Come with me!”

There will be no soothing rain today

No season to remember geraniums

No reason to remain oblivious to oblivion

Asteroids could end things quickly

But snow keeps drifting on the lawn

Capturing a fragrance at the core

Flowers have no where to go

Pain awaits the frozen hour

Have you no shame?

Have you no dignity?

It is Winter just the same

Time to hold pretty flowers captive

And accountable for their actions
