Humanity

Humanity couldn’t generate for flowers, yet flowers generate for humans.
Floral centres everywhere yet none can contain the same as humanity.
We are seeing the definitive quantity of generations destroyed.
Humanity developed and we had no desperate needs,
But it was the immense greed that changed societal views.
A blossom however hard it tries will always be powerful.
A blossom is puissant, the same as human capabilities.
I cannot help but observe the intrinsic evil also built by humanity.
The selfishness of universal ideas,
Contaminating and corrupting mankind.
Despite the selfishness of most of humanity,
We tend to flowers the same way flowers tend to us.
Flowers are colourful, vivacious and light-hearted
Creating a cheerful yet tranquil environment for human kind.
Humanity can grow and blossom like flowers do in the spring;
Or we can rot and wither like the florals in winter.
