Hot House
When I was a little kid
Life was a blooming bud
My mind was a garden
Of which i'm the warden
Daily I watered my sprouts
It started taking deep roots
I fertilized my mind
With thoughts so kind
Flowers bloomed everywhere
I attended to it with much care
Days started rolling
With burdens curling
Good thoughts displaced
Evil intentions gets replaced
No more hot shine
No more cool rain
Foul wind has destroyed
The happy flowers I enjoyed
My heart is now a waste land
With nothing but weeds in hand
There is no more garden
Life is getting harden
If there be another sun shine
I will transform my garden into a shrine
