The Triumphant Weed
Hail to the triumphant weed,
a humanoid brain inside a botanical entity,
a prisoner inside a cell made of fragile stalks
with a plan to escape through the fissures,
pass the guards and out into the open,
to breathe the air of freedom
and plant the victory sword in the soil,
a triumph well executed from the
commands of Mother Nature’s authority,
an obstacle to delay the process of maturation
to the blossoming of the fragile seedling,
a philosophy written from the strength of failure,
that a life too easy is a life half lived;
that life is vitalized from the sweat of the battle,
the obstacle that is the weed to stunt the growth,
a wall that was constructed by the persistence
of the humanoid type of brain couped up inside
with a chance to show its vitality
that leads to the triumph over a life too easy,
a weed cutting through the fissures of concrete
to deface the beauty of the glossy surface
through an opening so small,
it looks like solid matter,
or a weed that surfaces
to choke the life from a flower
by stealing the nutrients from it,
confirming a philosophy that
a life without an obstacle along the way
is a life only half lived and the
process of overcoming is
in the strength it takes to
regroup and move on.
