Flowers of all kinds,
I saw hyacinth, lilies, and roses alike,
Bought and sold near the riverside
Some in faith; others in love,
In the same faith; thrown away;
Castrated in city haul
Plastic flowers were sold near the florist shop
I saw the fresh flowers get withered
Never ending but fake,
I saw beauty being littered
Wandering this busy city
Near the station, as I stand—
I saw a little child laugh,
With nothing but a paper rose in hand.

In the same faith; thrown away;
Castrated in city haul
Plastic flowers were sold near the florist shop
I saw the fresh flowers get withered
Never ending but fake,

Wandering this busy city
Near the station, as I stand—
I saw a little child laugh,
With nothing but a paper rose in hand.
When the world prefers plastic flowers,
a kid smiles with his paper flower.
