Wisdom
a dandelion grows in the sidewalk
suckling the deposits of life
knowing not the crushing step
of the boot that passes by
from deaths sudden press
it scatters its seed
plying for fertile loam
it refuses to die replete
cast off truth is truth no less
though cursed by ignorance
misguided youth on her own way
yet only truth frees
