Pandora's Amazon Box

A Poem by Pete
"

They will wait, well disposed, for others to remedy evil, that they may no longer have have it to regret. - Thoreau

Pandora Box

it's hard to be good
amidst such bad company
we'll soon know and see

Author's Note

Pete
I saw a delicate flower had grown up two feet high
between the horses' feet and the wheel-track.
Which Dakin's and Maynard's wagons had
Passed over many a time.
An inch more to the right or left had sealed its fate,
Or an inch higher. Yet it lived and flourished,
As much as if it had a thousand acres
Of untrodden space around it, and never
Knew the danger it incurred.
It did not borrow trouble, nor invite an
Evil fate by apprehending it.

- Thoreau
