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
