Weeds Show

Seeds planted 
beautiful flower weeds
taking over life in the city
streets people walking
smiling to themselves
out of alley's 
between buildings
from crack houses
people talking
to glass bowls
with needs 
they grow
wild & out of control
them as you will
Reaching out for help
spreading wide
veined vines still
children need love
to grow
up the stairs 
or they find
themselves in 
a flower box prison
doing time in
Heaven
