Plants In Agony Poem by omar ibrahim
Plants In Agony
I am a flower who lived in peace
in a garden which looked very much like heaven
but the gardener planted some noxious weeds
the weeds bribed the foolish gardener
the weeds broke flowers' thorns as they grew strong
no weeding or mulch can stop their tenacity
the gardener is treating the flowers as weeds
the weeds bribed the foolish gardener
the garden is now full of fallen leaves
the grass is changing from green to yellow
while the gardener does not seem to care
the weeds bribed the foolish gardener
the plants are trying to survive
while the weeds are bound to exhaust themselves
the gardener knows it, but he's trying to forget
the weeds bribed the foolish gardener

A trifle too obscure for my limited intellect, 'the weeds broke the flowers thorns', what does that mean, I know of flowering plants with thorns chaenomeles japonica for instance, but weeds tough enouugh to break the thorns?
This a good modern version of the papable of the sower.i like it n added it to my favouritez.
Wow, I think that is a great poem. Very strong poem with strong and original imagery. Reading it, I was thinking of the corrupt politicians making life for just people tough, just because they allow the weeds in our society to flourish. Our Creator is the 'supergardener' far above any ordinary gardener and in the end the good plants will win. Weeds and corrupted gardeners tend to be so greedy that they suffocate themselves. Congrats man, if at the age of 16 you can write such a high qualtiy poem, I think a great future lies in front of you. If Egypt would be part of the Ottoman empire still, I would hope my country is part of it too. :)
The poem is wonderful and convey a deep meaning. Are we that foolish Gardner? The garner who treat good and beautiful badly against the bad things and help them to grow watching that the godd things are dying as he is so enticed by the bad things.He isspoling the very garden given to him to take care? Thanks. I give 10+
