To A Flower

Oh Humanity...
majestic flower...
With great honor
a thorn on your stem
am I
Counting your petals
with lessons of life
I learn
To value life
for death I've seen.
To value the past
as present flees
To value light
for darkness looms
To value fairness
injustice seen
To value God
as graves are filled
So Humanity...
majestic flower...
With many thorns
devout we be
well guarded
Your beauty...
