The Flower in the wilderness



The flowers in the wilderness

In the wild, amidst the dirt
There is a pretty pretty flower

It does not know what it's worth
Knows the bee that around it, hovers

It took the soil from the deep ground
And turned it into beautiful colors

And took the rain from the sky 
And made a sweet sweet nectar

It often gets crushed by the passerby
Who do not see and make it suffer

It blooms again, with full vigor
And its nature does not alter

It blooms and blossoms and gets discovered
And it grows faster and faster

People who crushed it, people who were ignorant
In their ignorance, only mutter

This was the flower in the wild
I once stepped on, not knowing it's worth

It's a diamond found in the coal mine
It's a lotus in the muddy puddle

Only the seasoned eyes can see
The value of it ever

It was never meant for the common
It was meant for better and better
