a little flower



A little flower,
Not much greater.
It has no scent,
So none bent

To pick it up
For love’s cup.
It comes too soon
And fades by noon.

It may be blamed
For lacking fame.
Yet hidden power
Can turn destroyer—

To bring down them
Who play the game,
Who spread pain
Again and again.

đŸĒļ Philosophy

1. Hidden Power in the Small → Even the weakest-looking being may hold great strength; never underestimate the humble.


2. Temporary Life, Lasting Impact → Life may be short like a flower, but its role can be significant.


3. Justice in Nature → Those who create pain repeatedly will one day face destruction—even by what they ignore.


4. Symbol of Resistance → The poem symbolizes oppressed people or ignored forces of nature rising against exploitation.



👉 Thus, the “little flower” is not just a plant—it is a metaphor for neglected truth, humble souls, or hidden forces that can overturn arrogance and cruelty.
