The Blame Game

By: Maya Fraga

Whatever happens to the flowers that never bloom?
Floating. Or falling.
Either will result in an awakening -
To see the truth.
Why things went as they did.
Why the potential was squandered.
Is it the flower's fault that the winter scorned it?
Is it the winter's fault that the flower shall never be beautiful?
It did all it could.
Its stem reached to the gods praying to Aphrodite for its blossom.
But the spring cannot bless every crop and flora.
The unlucky few do not make it.
Who's to blame?
