April showers bring deadly may flowers =]

Just a seed at first,
Aching for water to quench its thirst.
Into the ground the farmer knows,
Feeding on nutrients and water, it grows.

Peeking through the soil like a newborn baby,
It's gonna be beautiful, no ifs or maybes.
Sprung its first leaf, how great,
Farmer knows patience is what it takes.

Growing stronger and taller day by day,
All around signs of wither and decay.
Taking all food from plants in the ground,
While gawking humans form a crowd that surrounds.

It's first blossom, the crowd is in awe,
As exotic petals greet the sun, the crowd applauds.
All are unaware that everything is dead,
Just as suddenly it dies from being overfeed.

Worldly starvation rears its ugly head,
For nothing will grow and everything is dead.
Hopefully an inhabitant will flee,
Forewarning galaxies of the exotically deadly breed.
