A flower is ugly
A flower is vain
A flower grows from acid
That falls from the rain
Pale as the moons face
Flowers gaze at the stars
And if uprooted they'll go far
But they will never become astronauts.
Pale as the moons face
Beauty does not belong in space.

The author's comments:
It is illogical for a human to be perfect. Some have beauty and some have brains, some have both but cannot see or hear it. Be happy with what you have, I am sure others want it.
