Human Nature

Human Nature

A petal danced upon the wind,
Timely floating from our sin,
In seconds gone this simple flower,
That now awaits another hour,
Floating, flying, and soaring high,
Marked within this very sky,
Shedding color upon its death,
Taking well by nature's breath,
And in its past there lay a stem,
With petals Shining like a gem,
Born from roots of innocence,
And stemming from them ever since,
Growing high with all its glory,
Sprouting to this very story,
Of seeded tine, to sprouted root,
Brought to death by crushing boot,
For careless is a human's path,
To always walk in there own wrath,
Needing, wanting, killing, taking,
For this flower needed breaking,
So pluck its beauty from a seed,
There is no cost to human greed,
When they're blinded and cannot see
The graves that fill the cemetery
Where once lay this flower grown,
To show that humans killed there own,
And as it is, in every war,
A flower's petal seems to soar...

    I don't know what to say. One of the few poems that had my attention from start to finish and left me with no suggestions. (It's rare but there are breath taking poems here and yours is one of them) Maybe break it up but then again I htink this length doesn't matter. Your words capitivate the reader with unbelievable imagery and a clear message.
