"We have declined blooming for this fiscal year;
so at the time we would usually bloom,
President Sakura has issued a declaration
that we terrorize humanity instead!"

"Every year, those accursed humans sit and stare,
making strange shrieks like kettles,
it's a catch and release of booze and snacks
As bloom approaches, they comment "only 60% there";
don't you realize how rude that is?!
Do you rate human nakedness on a scale?!"
"Shall I put it on the news when your heads open up?!
Or shall I scatter your cut flesh like petals?!
If anyone should come near us,
we'll stab a branch in their nose,
and use them for light decorations!!"
We heard the sakura's claims, and...
[Breaking News!] Planning Committee Organized!
We apologized for our rudeness, and proposed this:
"ONE! "Flower viewing" now "Poop-Soup Flower Gazing"!"
"TWO! Death to those who gape before the sakura!"
Though we established these rules...
the humans were fiercely opposed!
Isn't letting sakura decide unfair to plum trees? (16, Female)
Nobody complains when I'm half-naked, y'know? (28, Male)
Does "gape" mean open or closed? Don't use it! (56, Male)
People's body water varies! Making soup isn't fair! (34, Female)
"Your cooperation is worse than teeny insects!
Your misaligned problems trip each other up!
You create rules which you can't obey,
then break them, argue, and argue again!
If you're told not to push a button, you always do!"
Please listen, Mr. President;
humanity is foolish indeed...
With their blaming and competing, they can never unify...
But we won't give in!
Though we quarrel and struggle,
there may still be an answer,
and we won't give up on finding it!
Now please, bloom; humanity being uncouth as always,
we wish to see your petals,
for they always hold such beauty...
Given that we exist in disarray,
as if meaning to ridicule us,
a world of pink bloomed forth all at once
Like the fools we are, our jaws hang open another year,
and despite our differences, we all share a thought...
"I hope to see them again next year..."
"Sakura"
