Flower Power
nature's wildflowers mowed and burned
covered over by words and rock
pavement spread by governments
don't put a flower in your hair
covered over by words and rock
fields of white crosses rows on row
walls contain names of those that died
children traded limbs for sticks and wheels
pavement was spread by governments
stain-flawed cracked and full of pot holes
patched with more pavement and reasons
why words are not harder than guns
put a flower in your hair
and sing songs of peace to the world
parking lots are all pavement but
dandelions grow in the corner
