OPUNTIA

WRITTEN BY MYSELF (APURVA KADAM)

THE POOR CACTUS KEPT JUST FOR SHOW,

SOME KEEP SOME TEND TO THROW.

OH! I KNOW IT HAS THOSE HONED THORNS.

BUT THEY ARE WORTH MORE SOFT;

THAN THE LIVING UNFAITHFUL MORONS.

THE CACTUS IF YOU DO NOTICE IS A FRIENDLY GUY,

IF YOU LOVE HIM HE WILL DO MORE AND SHY.

CYLINDRICAL,COLUMNAR, SPHERICAL THEY ARE,

THEY DON'T EVEN NEED A DAILY SHOWER.

OH! PLEASE JUST DON'T GET CONFUSE ,

A CACTUS HAS SOME AMAZING MEDICINAL USE.

ANTIVIRAL,HELPS IN SUGAR LEVELS,

OH, YOU CAN ATTACK WITH THE THORNS,

IF YOU COME ACROSS A DEVIL.
