Grass is well suited

Grass is well suited

To hard times

It needs to be

It has a simplicity

In design that

Ensures its evolution

Into a seed crop

Though well trodden

Invariably squashed

As a necessity

Of freewheeling ambulation

It springs up

With renewed vigour

Reaching for the sun

A little water

To moisten its leaves

A minimal requirement

Of good husbandry

It would carpet the earth

Bring it life

Sustain a balance

Few humans will achieve

Theirs is a chaotic progress

Caring little for the background noise

Using the landscape

For colour

When tired of grey.

Expecting the world

To lie quietly dormant

Waiting to be of service

Servile in its

Acceptance of destruction

Bouncing back

With a spring in its step

Like a weeble

Higher functioning

Should come with a warning

Attached

‘Beware

Keep off the grass

Trespassers will be prosecuted.’
