Forsaken soul Taking root in a land thought barren Or hostile Or uninhabitable Where the water is poison The air toxic Will your vines slip through the cracks, Dandelion? Will you be the **** That blossoms in the summer And leaves yellow stains on The palms of our hands? Will we cut your roots down? Will we shut out the sun? Do we shake the earth with cloven hooves And break the stone? Maybe you'll **** the water supply dry Or maybe you'll just **** the poison out

Dandelion
Forsaken soul Taking root in a land thought barren Or hostile Or uninhabitable Where the water is poison The air toxic Will your vines slip through the cracks, Dandelion? Will you be the **** That blossoms in the summer And leaves yellow stains on The palms of our hands? Will we cut your roots down? Will we shut out the sun? Do we shake the earth with cloven hooves And break the stone? Maybe you'll **** the water supply dry Or maybe you'll just **** the poison out
A turbulent family member is apparently expecting. The emotions are a mixed bag.
