Cactus Killer
Mar 25, 2023
I killed a cactus today, such a weird and unlucky plant
who must have had dreams of a desert,
a heavenly dry place at some point in its miserable, wet life.
A cactus that migrated to a farm in the North
where people used to water the plants every day,
but too much water will kill you
if you were a cactus, my friend.
Its spines and needles warned them all,
but still, they poured the water tall,
until one day, it wilted away,
and I found it in the gray morning.
I killed a cactus today,
but it’s not the first to go this way.
We often forget their unique needs
and treat them just like common weeds.
So let this be a lesson learned,
for every plant has its own turn,
to thrive and grow in its way,
So let’s not kill a cactus today.
