An Email from the Dandelion
Hello, Good people,
how is it fair to us, the Dandelions
are called weeds, in fact, the aggressive kind
that people raze to the ground?
You kill us for we spoil the looks of your lawns
us, with our happy yellow
because you want the green of grass.
You kill
because our pollen may trigger allergies
but then, are we the confirmed kind
to kill for everyone and anyone?
Good People,
your hypocrisy shows up on shop racks
where neatly packed dandelion tea advocates
our roots, stems, leaves, and flowers
to consume for the benefits of vitamins A, B, C, and D?
Hello, Humans
If we could only send you a video
of our screams when your lawn keeper
runs his machine over us
and you could get our helpless death cries.
Perhaps one day, science will inform
that you better keep your weeds in your lawns
