You Planted a Garden
You planted a garden and must make a decision,
As some varieties become very independent,
You are the one that has to control this situation.
The corn grows tall, creating massive division,
Suppressing all others, becoming the one percent.
You planted a garden and must make a decision.
The squash is crafty by wondering in any direction,
And steals nutrients from others without consent,
You are the one that has to control this situation.
The tomatoes spread through rapid disconnection.
Their vines hold others down through dissent.
You planted a garden and must make a decision.
The potatoes hide to avoid any infection,
Become the underground within the basement.
You are the one that has to control this situation.
So remember, you are in charge solely by election,
And every plant is part of those you represent.
You planted a garden and must make a decision,
You are the one that has to control this situation.
