My refugee tomato plants

 My refugee tomato plants

Have been suddenly and forcibly moved

From the warm, safe, place of their birth.

They have been placed in strange containers,

And  forced to move,

At the whim of a power

That they cannot communicate with,

Or understand.

They have been singled out,

And selected

For arbitrary reasons.

Pulled out of their native soils,

Leaving ripped root tendrils behind.

Then planted separately

Into new colder, strange places

And left to regrow their roots

As best they can

Or perish alone in exile
