In the sun, I'm smashing flowers
Try to run and get devoured
plowing with destructive powers
Rip off the petals one by one
let them wilt and rot in the sun
Slit the stems and break the vacuoles
They bleed out water and stain the trowel
Cleanse with plant based cotton towels
My fingers green from chloroplast
Strangling flowers is a blast
Decapitate the sepals with bare hands
Stomp on the rest and pulverize the glands
Until the disintegrated flowers flow like sands
Use the stem to tie a green noose
Use the stigma to discourage it being loose
Then hang the flower's severed capitulum
Its ethereal body sways like a pendulum
Then beat the hanged to the beat of a drum
When I get home my Mom can tell
My hands are stained with cytoplasmic gel
"WHAT have you donE!" My Mother yells
"I escorted all the flowers to herb hell;
It's called plant genocide and here's the tale..."
