Afghan Flowers - Trapdoor

Out in the fields

Colours shining high yield

They tower toward the sun

Bold beauty bright for everyone

It slowly morphed in time

Yellows and smoke inside their eyes

No sleepless nights?

Why do I see your face at all?

Afghan flowers changing colour for oil

What is this I see?

These blooms flashing right above?

They’re tulips don’t you see?

Just rest and lay your head on me

Self convince the right

As seeds are dropped down mid-flight

No sleepless nights?

Why do I see your face at all?

Afghan flowers changing colour for oil

How do you live with the guilt?

Afghan flowers shrivel up and wilt
