They Tried To Bury Us
It started underground
In the dark
A fluttering of awareness
A pulsing heartbeat
A distant drum of war.

Waiting out the cold
Gathering its resources
Biding its time
Waiting for its moment.
It started underground
Until conditions were ripe,
Then everything exploded;
The rush for the light
Breaking into the sun
Claiming its ground.
It started in the dark
Now it stands tall,
Unfurls its glorious petals,
A red banner
In the grey.
Written by Victoria Pearson. Performed by Laurence Bourne
