she saw the lilies fight
in the darkness of the night
out in the garden
narrating their plight
they fought for soil
and the sun and moon
they fought for rain
even the next day and noon
they tore each other
uprooting the lives
piercing through the petals
their twigs sharp knives
"We cant live in peace
no more in harmony"
the lilies struck each other
accusing cheat and felony
"But why, what happened,
you were so good till now,"
she tried to reason
but the lilies stared and frowned
"We are lured by riches
and power and possession
we have learnt from humans
waging war across nations."
"What purpose have they solved
None, we know
And yet blinded by greed
to wars, they never say no"
"We aim to be superior
just like you humans
so don't stop us yet
we are befriending the demons."
she was struck by horror
watching the lilies fight
out in the garden
narrating their plight
they tore each other
uprooting the lives
piercing through the petals
their twigs sharp knives
