take a moment to observe
the flowers in my window box
the way they hold each other up
though each plant has had hard knocks
each bloom, each plant is separate
growing at a different rate
yet somehow they coexist
ain’t that lovely? I think it’s great
beautiful, the way they mingle
the way they manage to get along
in such a tiny, defined space
they sing a harmonious, scented song
look at the flowers in my box
free from hatred, immune to greed
sunshine, water, a little love
‘n they’re happy – that’s all they need
the flowers in my window box
they all grew from a tiny seed
if only mankind were more like them
realising we’re all part of the same breed
we could kill off all the bad stuff
truly make a new beginning
sadly, assholes are in power
only my window box is winning
