flowers

have done us

no harm,

no tragedy,

no sadness,

to our souls.

and yet

we tear them away

from their sheltered homes 

and theri loving families.

we cut their veins and

pick off their petals 

for the sake of love.

we destroy their loveliness

and just watch them

wither and wilt to dust.

worst of all,

we give them awat

to people

who don't love us.
