Soul soil

I collected flowers in the sun when I was a kid

Just to watch ‘em die like a grinch

Now I find my way around in the dark

Run into childhood plants that have grown thorned bark

Wilting petals turn to shredded fingers

That pain lingers

 

 

Try to keep it out of a vase to stay alive

From fresh water

To no GMOs or pesticides

I feed my roots like the package suggests

Stem to leaves and **** the rest

Keep it natural regarding pest control

The best soul soil sold, owned

Moisture in the fold

Sun and shade

The fruits are gold
