Extinct Flowers

Flowers of many kinds Many colors Many scents Fill an untouched field Bees and birds fly between their petals Living a blissful life Dew settles on each petal Shimmering like nature’s diamonds Reflecting dawn’s light into tiny rainbows It is the beauty that only nature can create Man doesn’t see the beauty If he does he just doesn’t care He comes in Plows everything down Covering over every plant Blackness is the new color The bees and birds leave for new homes The sweet smell of the flowers Replaced with the bitter scent of petrol Cars replace the beauty And the flowers are gone forever
