Cacti Flower
When you take bloom
The world turns to noon
In your vibrant display
Warning them to stay away
Yet your signs are taken as welcome
Because of the form they set upon
The sting will resound through both hearts
And your world will slowly rip apart
But don’t take away, don’t withdraw
You may think you’re safe again, after all,
It’s not the flower with which you bloom
It’s the mindset to which they’re attuned
Stay awake, stay alive
One day the land will change
And you will thrive
