Plucked i am, From the flowering mopane By the mother of the mischievous ones, Only to be reduced To a reproving stick. Safe and secure i am, Or rather i think i am In my seemingly fortified pod. Later disposed into the arid savannah Where the hooves of migrating buffaloes Forcibly crush me out Seeding me into the infertile sands. Scorched by the tropical heat Patiently i wait, For...
