Analysis of The Blooming Dilemma
Spend sunny days growing as a blemish in the grass.
Dancing day by day with each delicate and dynamic pass.
Many people gander only to see the flowers beauty as a weed.
Commonwealth hasten its life to have wishes dispersed through seed.
The flowers abundant parachutes are carried along by the breeze.
Following the flow of all else, pressured for their uniqueness to seize.
When the flower finally matures it is golden yellow like the sun.
Yet it is too late by then, the flowers reputation is already done.
Society has already deemed this flower to be too much.
A flower that stands out, yet a weed to be crushed.
If only uniqueness was not looked at as a flaw.
The only things accepted are those of societal law.
The masses try to change people that appear different than the rest.
Yet when they need them for something they wish for the best.
The parachute and its origin are like that of the way of life.
No matter how beautiful anything is, the smallest blemish causes strife.
A society that no longer accepts evolution and innovative change.
It makes us ask ourselves, what truly is the range?
Both uniqueness and uselessness are rendered moot in present day.
Parachutes filled with wishes can now go either way.
