As I was passing by a field
A sea of tulips, red
Red as fire, red as blood
I saw one lone yellow tulip
A sword pointing skyward
Skyward, almost as a plea
A cry to its maker for some
One to make its stand with
With just one more yellow tulip
Against the onslaught of red.

Lovely analogy.  I felt just like that yellow tulip most my life.  There are others out there, though, I've recently found out.
Good poem.
