Criminalised

Criminalised for a flag.

Criminalised for displaying its colours,

for wearing its colours,

for painting its colours

in the country where it arose from,

in the country where it belongs.

Criminalised for a fruit,

for eating a fruit,

for growing a fruit

in a place where it should grow naturally.

Criminalised by the occupation.

Criminalised.

But the seeds grew

and still they grow 

and spread

the seeds.
