The eerie sunflowers bloomed black and yellow With dark aspirations to expand their influence Stealthily they crept across the grassy field Coming like tiny green stemmed soldiers No rifles in hand only chloroplast warriors To find their fond enemy ripping them from their roots Till the field was filled with their corpses Scattered petals pleading for mercy that never came Losing some loved ones to a wicked bouquet Bequeathed to a beloved who tossed them away Between the killing field and the black back alley way Is where those tragic sunflowers lay in decay Displayed in their grotesque and dying forms
