A Weed Named Joe Poem

A lone corn seed is sowed quietly below the ground

The rains came; lightning with thunder began to sound.

Germination takes place and the seed springs to life

But yonder comes a masked man wielding a knife!

Its position is fixed the seed can’t run away

All the poor seed could do now was pray!

The seed prayed to the Creator beyond the sky

“Please let me become a plant strong and high!”

The masked man drew nearer to the growing seed

Above the face mask were eyes filled with greed!

Between his teeth a paper stamped Roe vs. Wade

The masked man slipped closer with his deadly blade!

This masked man could not be a farmer you know

He carried no rake and he carried no hoe!

He smelled of alcohol and of iodine as well

He is a hired killer heading swiftly toward hell!

The initials M.D. were etched between his eyes

He was armed with Degrees that made him Wise!

He said “You are not a corn plant at all!”

“You’re merely just a weed until six inches tall!”

The young plant had grown to only five inches high

So, the weed very sadly prepared itself to die.

The masked man with knife cut the weed down!

As the weed screamed only God heard the sound!

Mr. Masked Man God just wants you to know

The weed you destroyed was a boy named “Joe!”
