BY ANY OTHER NAME
Does Mother Nature show the need
To define what makes a flower or weed?
Everything has its natural place
While Man decides to give it space.
The dandelion - or "lion's tooth"
Is one example - and in truth
Would be treasured on a vine
Ensuring its future as a wine!
Does Mother Nature seek to guide a
flea to be free of the web of a spider...
Or help the spider to avoid a bird?
Such presumption seems absurd.
Yet Mankind seeks to issue orders
Inventing artificial borders,
Making room for some built-in need...
To keep "innocent" bloom from "guilty" weed!

Good one, in premise and presentation. Much food for thought.
