Beware My Friends
Down the drain it swept the innocent
Unto the land of disgust it spat them out
So sad were these moments
Where people saw many unfair decisions take place
Destroying the dignity of many around
I touched the flower with the tip of my finger
Blood oozed out so quickly
Pain blinded me so severely
For as I looked closer, a thorn had scratched my skin
Cutting its warm and safe house
I realized that even flowers had their something swept away
Something if lost, deterioration takes place
Thus, health was what it had lost
Due to the lovely climate we created
Oh flower it is not your fault,
For we are the destroyers that swept away your life
Do forgive us, for some didn't mean it
Yet, they adored the way you sat outside and danced
With the wind's song so loud and clear
Many characters and factors have been crushed
And into dust they have become
All is caused by the selfish behaviors of people
Roaming around so happy and peacefully
Beware, my friends, for one day,
Someone will arrive and sweep everything you obtain
Watch out and be careful on the ways you treat the ones around
For the way you treat them is how people shall treat you...
Beware my friends, Beware....
