WEEDS BLOOM

Weeds bloom!
The weeds have bloomed!
You can pull on them
But the roots remain
Weeds bloom!
The weeds have bloomed!
And they’ll bloom once again…
With the right amount of rain
And the right amount of sun
They pop up between the cracks
And bloom in the streets
Voracious, native and untamed
Weeds bloom!
The weeds have bloomed!
You can pull on them
But the roots remain
Weeds bloom!
The weeds have bloomed!
And they’ll bloom yet again…
And if it doesn’t it work out
And your greenhouse
Becomes your prison
And your petals are scattered
By the boots of the troops
Know that your seeds are sown
Your roots are strong
Your flower lives on
Hiding deep in the cracks
Watered by your tears
And when you bloom once again
We’ll be there
Our fists in the air
