Land Mines

I am a field full of land mines.

 

Normal on the surface

Tall grasses

Flowers

Life

 

But under the dirt and grime

 

Hidden secrets lie

 

And if you touch me the right way

Accidental or not

One goes off

 

And if one goes off

 

The rest blow up the surface one by one until nothing but ashes are left.
