Every Reason - A fold
Where is there equality in our world?
All's unfair every reason to discontent,
The dainty yellows now unfurled,
Think they are fairest of them all,
Where is there equality in our world?
Broad intoxicating reds, oh so
Gaudy, floral vixens unreserved,
The purples claim to be royal,
Though no septre will be twirled,
Yet side by side the're put together,
Where is there equality in our world?

Gillena, I really like the impact of the repeating question and how you used the color of the flowers to reflect the reasons that each flower thinks it is superior to the others. Brilliant writing.
