Lab #21

Here is a poem i wrote about social capital, it's called "The Garden."

The Garden

We live like flowers in a social garden
As we stem from our roots, and gather sunlight.
Our words travel like the butterfly, who gathers nectar
and distributes it to the next weakest flower.

But there will always be a single lonely flower
Who stems from a different seed, and becomes eager
to live like the rest of the flowers in the garden.
But these flowers are rejected, their pedals left to wilt.

  1. i really like this poem. blake did a good job of describing the way our society reacts towards people who aren't the "norm". It's really creative to describe it as a flower garden too.
