Loyalty de-flower-ed

So colorful is their delicate finery
That they adorn the serene scenery
These fragile flowers never shiver
Even in the coldest haven
Nor do they ever complain about the wetting rain

Smiles emblazon their expression
Greeting all people they meet,
Good or bad extending
Fenceless friendship across the fence
But we humans don’t care
Nor share their painful solitude
Garlanding them with the dead

Still silence is their only reaction
To the tortures of soaring emotion
And loyal forever to the disloyal
Accompanying us even in death
