Trapped Flower

 

I happened across her one night
happenstance or fate
chance or a mistake?
thought id try to save a flower
before it was too late

she was still in bloom
but a rock had rolled on her
petals unpresentable
her stalk bent and no room

yet as i walked i had to admire
her life spirit so defined
in that mire
i suppose myself, the flower, and the rock
are all creatures of desire

Whatever The Case May Be

 

Whatever the case may be
Whatever the case maybe
There's different rights and
Different rules
Whatever the case may be

I suggest one tread softly
and hide
Lest they be seen
Cuz if you grow too tall
They'll chop you down
Whatever the case may be

Then when you fall
Down upon the ground
They pick you up
and dust you off
and then they'll
Grind you down

You end up
Out of town
Somewhere with strange smells &
weird sounds
Part of an eagerly awaited dinner
but yet the diners frown
