The seed in you

By Isabel Leonard

Do you know about the Dahlia flower?                         No
And how it grows back                                                     Black
In the concrete, I see it tower                                         Loud
Proving nature’s law wrong                                            Human
Only one seed                                                                    Grows
But now it starts to go                                                     Fast
Now we have to show                                                      Vast
That is has in fact                                                             Passed
Do you know about the Dahlia flower?                       Me
I’d know it if it wasn’t in me                                           You
