Black spot

Out damn spot, you have killed the rose

Regicide evident in its queenly death throes 

Black spot that appears on yellow leaves

Oh heinous act, a cowardly gardener's hand grieves

An infection turned insurrection the plant does surround 

Leaves armies fallen ghosts callen from the ground

An invasion by a foreign force

Before me death and decay take their course

Birnam woods or burn them woods did they say?

Get some fertilizer, Dung in same hill today

I really like the personification of the "hand grieves"---
And "an infection turned insurrection"
A statement on the Black spot our country is being thought of as in current times.
Too many weeds in the garden.

This is beautiful chaos—your words dig in the soil of decay and rot, and yet there’s a sly humor poking through the composted tragedy.
