Hybrid - Inspiration Piece

Hybrid

From earth stained dark by Jewish blood
grew a white rose with a six-petalled bud.
Grafted from the stem of the Hitler Youth
it strained for the light of an unblemished truth.

And the story each tender petal had to tell
shook the ground to its core wherever it fell
and the seismic effect still reverberates on.
The de-headed flower had posthumously won, won, won.
