Flower
Small seed sown there,
Then bees saw the natural beauty,
They came and made me,
Then spring was here and I blossomed,
But then within summer I died.

I was just a little flower,
Wearing all the colours of the rainbow,
With the most heady mix,
I became an apiary for all,
That's when my sweetness deteriorated,
I became all naked and desolated.

Yes,they all were done with me,
The most brightful flower had died,
But they all left the pieces and left me,
Who am I when I have become nothing?
No one recognise me now,
My dull face has faded.

I became the fertilizer for their vegetation,
Now my beauty was used to cover the dead,
From being a rainbow to being a cemetery mould,
That's how I died.
