Eclectic Populous

Spread Conciousness

The white water lily is currently an endgangered species in CT. It used to thrive in the area and was used by Native Americans as a potent medicine. With strong antibiotic and astringent properties (from the tannic and gallic acid found in the plant tissue) it was widely used externlly as infusions to treat lesions and inflammations with mucous memranes, and as poultices to treat a variety of dermatological conditions.

A cousin of the Lotus, its fogetten symbolic meaning this side of the pond is profound.

Rising above the murky depths
To Shine for three days
Before closing
Back to darkness
A manifestation of god
Soon to be lost
But Fuck it
Whats one less life
