After war \u00a0\u00a0<\/em>fire and destruction<\/span><\/address>\n
Many people \u00a0found<\/address>\n
On bomb sites \u00a0and where bombs had fallen<\/address>\n
Bright new shoots came \u00a0 From \u00a0the ground<\/address>\n
signs of new life wonderfully<\/address>\n
a species pioneer<\/span><\/address>\n
they \u00a0coined the name of \u00a0bomb weed\u00a0<\/address>\n
or the fireweed\u00a0<\/address>\n
it seemed \u00a0clear<\/address>\n
\u00a0It\u00a0was \u00a0a perennial<\/span><\/address>\n
liked \u00a0calcareous earth
\nit seemed to re-establish<\/address>\n
attracting diverse \u00a0worth<\/address>\n
and pollinators \u00a0seemingly<\/address>\n
were also drawn to \u00a0try<\/address>\n
To come and taste \u00a0the \u00a0bounty<\/address>\n
And to not be shy<\/address>\n
\nit is \u00a0a raw edible<\/address>\n
and is now found everywhere<\/address>\n
\u00a0on road sides, banks\u00a0<\/span><\/address>\n
on railways land<\/address>\n
on waste ground<\/address>\n
it does sbare<\/address>\n
it\u2019s tonifying nutrients<\/address>\n
its \u00a0 medicinal \u00a0power
\nAttracting \u00a0butterflies<\/address>\n
and moths<\/address>\n
and sends it\u2019s purple shower<\/address>\n
Of what is floral genius<\/address>\n
Even Tolkien \u00a0writes about it<\/address>\n
\u201din the fellowship of the ring\u201d<\/address>\n
in the Yukon in Siberia<\/address>\n
and the first people they \u00a0did bring<\/address>\n
it into many cultures<\/address>\n
many \u00a0 Many tribes<\/address>\n
\u00a0brought it into their medicine\u00a0<\/span><\/address>\n
and realised\u00a0<\/span>its vibes<\/span><\/address>\n
were healing<\/address>\n
were revealing\u00a0<\/address>\n
a sentinel that could<\/address>\n
benefit \u00a0and balance<\/address>\n
The \u00a0earth itself\u00a0<\/address>\n
and would\u00a0<\/address>\n
act as an improver<\/address>\n
it grows abundantly<\/address>\n
Offering its worldly<\/address>\n
goods \u00a0and of course is free<\/address>\n
\u00a0its wild and there for needs to be\u00a0<\/span><\/address>\n
away from chemical sprays<\/address>\n
and everything about this plant\u00a0<\/address>\n
is worthy of such praise.<\/address>\n
Bee\u2019s \u00a0make a \u00a0beeline for it<\/address>\n
where bonfire patches \u00a0scar<\/address>\n
wbere there are untreated ashes<\/address>\n
and \u00a0where nitrates \u00a0are<\/address>\n
every plant produces<\/address>\n
rhizomes and fluffy seeds<\/address>\n
its has an amazing energy<\/address>\n
to use light and so succeeds.<\/address>\n
