Unwanted growth.
Unwanted growth.
I saw yellow flowers of weeds
on a moist crumbled wall
of a dilapidated house.
The flowers were ill breeds.
But they were well brought up
with the affection of sun and moon.
When mortal bodies
decided to give up them very soon.
They were attributed
with the blessings of nature.
but mortal hands tried to eliminate them
to stop their growth in near future.
They cleaned the face of the wall
with the help of chemicals.
Alas! they took birth again on the death bed
and were well fed.
