Sunflowers

The masses worship the sun Sunflowers dancing to the lords command Soldiers have made there flower beds Where they all end up lying in peace Quite quite dead

Naturally I was drawn to the poem titled, "Sunflowers" ... lol. Interesting comparison between those that died in battle, as the sunflowers always follow the sun no matter what ... so too, do soldiers always follow the command of their superiors. It takes a person with a real sense of humanity to disobey an unjust order from a higher-up. Sometimes, it's best not to be a sunflower ... very reflective, Aurore. I appreciate its message.
