Indefensible

Do not defend me

I am indefensible

Defend the rock instead

the weed that breaks through it


Ask them what they think

tell them your secrets

The rock will bear your weight

the weed is obstinate

relentless in its bond to this spot

I've not the mass

nor grown the roots

to tie me here

Do not defend me

"the weed is obstinate 

relentless in its bond to this spot"

I like the concept you are expressing here!

that is from one of my favorite comic books ever. The entire comic is this kick-butt hero fighting his way through an unimaginable horde of bad guys... beating them senseless...so he can plant that seed.

glad I could bring poetry to it.  Though, I find that comics can be pretty poetic stuff
