Broken blossoms
Flowers are for growing free,for bringing beauty to our fields and gardens
and to bring life and colour to our parks;
but why then has man this obsession
for picking them and killing them?
They will not live for long in vases,
they will wither quickly, like canary birds in cages,
and picked flowers are just like caged animals,
victims of the cruelty and ignorance of man
and doomed to languish in a long protracted death
of famine, lack of freedom and imprisonment.
It may seem funny to consider animals and flowers thus,
like human people, but they are,
and so are trees, which man has an obsession to cut down
and kill, instead of leaving them alone
and granting them the right of life and freedom.
Gardeners are well aware of this
necessity of cultivating life instead of killing it;
but man was born inhuman and the beastliest of animals
with a latent and intentional premeditated cruelty
so infinitely more unnatural than any animal atrocity
resorting to the killing action only to survive.
