It started with the Sumerians well before Christ Sumerians passed the joy plant on to Assyrians Assyrians in turn to Egyptians Where the Sphinx sat in the desert watching the way to sea decked in poppies the symbol of sleep and death feeding Cleopatra's ****** fantasies Some say she died by the kiss of ***** not a snake The power of ***** led it on down the Silk Road to China where it went to war ***** dens spread near and far Poppies lift poor Afghan farmers out of poverty's embrace fields of color fields of blood In Flanders field remembrance was born fields of blood red poppies embrace the bodies of the fallen The only thing standing between death and remembering the symbol of piece a white poppy
