High Arrogance, Simple Pride

They were so tall, so arrogant.
They looked down on the weeds on land,
ridiculed the lilies who clung to the surface.
One night the wind followed the frost,
broke them down
and forced them to point in the direction it had gone.
Now they pride themselves on their symmetry and simplicity.

 

“Poison mushrooms pride themselves on looking innocent and charming.”

    I see one arrow pointing to the left as a symbol of fight against the charming civilised world of greed and poison provoking destruction of nature. More of those “rebel” arrows are necessary.

      Aren’t you sharp-eyed. That’s the main arrow of the picture. Thanks for pointing it out.
