title: Monday Morning Shift

These plants look beautiful, but not at this location.
|
||||
They must be eradicated according to administration.
|
||||
I brought out my tools; Some gloves and a spade,
|
||||
Then sat down, Indian style, to begin the raid.
|
||||
The roots, like little fingers, held on to dear life
|
||||
As I cut through their homes with an oddly-shaped knife.
|
||||
|
||||
To justify these cruel killings
|
||||
I thought of what they've done:
|
||||
Suffocated the superior plants
|
||||
And blocked out the lovely sun.
|
||||
|
||||
But what makes one plant superior and the other inferior?
|
||||
Just the fact that the other has a beautiful exterior?
|
||||
They are simply trying their best to make a living.
|
||||
We must see past our differences and be more forgiving.
|
||||
|
||||
But these thoughts lead down to a dangerous road;
|
||||
Let's not personify each seed we've sowed.
|
||||
|
||||
The sun now rises and heats the ground.
|
||||
The ice embedded within melts all around,
|
||||
And now a nice wet spot on my pants is found
|
||||
Which leaves me thinking of thoughts more profound:
|
||||
"I really hope no one's looking at me right now."
