The walls rose so tall
sun never touched the garden
Plants withered and died
She blamed the plants; cement burning under her finger nails

You spend too much time with overzealous brickies!
Cut the plants. Marble and stone, I tell you, marble and stone!
It’s sad a garden full of dead plants. But if they had been great enough they would have risen above the wall and catch the sunlight. Or if they were strong enough they would have prevented the wall from reaching such heights.
I blame it on the plants too. And on the ones who allowed the walls to rise.
