Analysis of Floral Guerilla
free fighters of the past
refined by human hands
shield their offspring weakly
but the old herbs will rise
from holes and cleaves
greening on poor soil
even in polluted air
with underground vitality
-persistent rumors say-
strong seeds wait for later
when the weak plants died
as the pampered vanish
-defeated by deficiencies-
old samples will resume
the battle from below
