omar ibrahim - Plants in agony

I am a flower who lived in peace
in a garden which looked very much like heaven
but the gardener planted some noxious weeds
the weeds bribed the foolish gardener

the weeds broke flowers' thorns as they grew strong
no weeding or mulch can stop their tenacity
the gardener is treating the flowers as weeds
the weeds bribed the foolish gardener

the garden is now full of fallen leaves
the grass is changing from green to yellow
while the gardener does not seem to care
the weeds bribed the foolish gardener

the plants are trying to survive
while the weeds are bound to exhaust themselves
the gardener knows it, but he's trying to forget
the weeds bribed the foolish gardener
