Plucked Flower Is Living Dead

" Flower plucked from plant is like a new born baby dumped on road" Bright, tender flower, my beauty all devour Humans stop and look at me, faces full of glee Joyous whole day, in breeze I sway Many sisters and brothers, love chatting with others Family loves me, am well fed must agree When insects sit on me, I am filled with glee As they commute, I will become a fruit Such thoughts in mind lay, thinking of future I stay ~~~~~ One day plucked away, dropped on pathway From my family faraway, alone I lay Blow me wind I say, drop me where I stay But much to my dismay, I am tossed away, All stamp upon me, humans are beastly To God I pray, for my early death, decay Harshly am taken away, along with garbage I lay Burnt alive,I am slain, I scream in pain ~~~~~ Many of us die this way, mercilessly humans slay When plucked, alive we lay, waiting for death to take us away LIVING DEAD, MANY TEARS SHED, EVERY MOMENT DREAD, SUCH A DEATHBED! Wish humans understood our pain, and stopped being so inhumane ~~~~~ 28 Jan 2021 Topic chosen - If I were a flower All internal rhymes checked at Rhyme zone. End rhymes not intended. Note: Brother and sisters indicate other flowers on the plant. In India garbage is collected by municipality and burned

An interesting perspective. We say we love flowers and then we do harm to them. Mind you a florist does require income to care for their family. In the end it is neither good or bad, it merely is. I enjoyed giving thought to this dilemma. Blessing Rick.

I agree, but still for me it is akin to killing a life. Most painful part is when people pluck just like that and throw on ground. Dilemma are a part and parcel of life. Everywhere they come, in s way there is nothing right, nothing wrong.All jn mind. Enjoy your day friend. Take care Rama
