Sunflowers and Clear Skies

The eyes of the father drops
both love and goodbye --
Left with a searing choice
between chains or his demise

The busy buzz of metal bees
blends red with the sunflowers --
equally laid with the clear skies
that tug his hands to pick up his son
-- or pick up a gun and fight.
