Poem
People think plants are not violent This is where I will tend to disagree Have you ever seen a vine strangle a tree? What about when a fly is devoured by the Venus? When the weeds clog the yard with such immensity that drains every nearby plant? Sure you have Therefore you have witnessed the hard-wired DNA principle To survive Regardless of species The predation and the prey All within the concept that..... Celery somehow made it to dominance in a seemingly peaceful fashion Yet deceptively, as stoic as this ... Celery... seems It most certainly practices a turgid diplomacy of violence Showing its importance as An invaluable part of classic broth A team player in regards to fiber And Let's never forget the partnership with peanut butter So it began Celery was allowed into the favored gardens of the chosen vegetables Walled away from the thorny, thick monstrosities that grew unattended On the other side of the gate Shedding their pollen without the slightest of apologies But none of this was a concern for Celery As Celery grew strong, robust and prolific Soon it was apparent Celery had larger dreams than walled-off gardens It was time for world domination It was time to run the competitors unto the topsoil Celery's surrounding mother roots went deep and everywhere within the soil This unquenchable thirst caused Many neighboring plants to become so stifled A massive plant exodus occurred Creating even more harsh turf conditions This was compounded with the Many casualties from plant-like warfare Yet, one may ask Did Celery show mercy and a vegetative state upon its face No (and yes) The roots took over and drained the essence from every beet, scallion and basil In proximity While simultaneously and Ravenously soaking in every bit of energy needed for Survival Even at the cost of Celery's family and friends So Given this veracious tale Do you still believe plants are not violent?
