"" - - - ~Happy Birthday Lola~ - - -""

Dancing attendance, shine through haze,
Swarm humming scour, sing spring has come,
Breathe meadow breeze into the home:
Melissa's duty through her days.
Across this field she toils un-praised -
Lily and Rose, Jasmine just some
Of those whom to this fate succumb -
Till sacks fill, swelled, dust enslaved.
Alack, the apathy was clear:
When petals droop attentions wane;
She felt awfully unwanted here.
Our avarice and need to tame
Have driven her to disappear.
We only have ourselves to blame.

Dedicated to Lola
