pain flowers

petals of depressions feral,
pistols of regrets visceral,
thorns of feelings torn,
styles of gardens defiled by industrial war,
anthers of reviled cancers,
sepals of amorous advances repulsed,
stigmas of addiction and poverty,
receptacles of broad-casted negativity,
peduncles of pedantry,
ovules of stark survival jovial,
stamens of lean and fear-learned discipline,
ovaries of "diseased" perserverance,
embryo sac of artistic forms,
filaments of heaven-sent inspiration...

like the violent births of nations and men,
the triumphal blossoming of cogent creation
