Pollen
Pollen is a fine to coarse powdery substance comprising pollen grains which are male microgametophytes of seed plants, which produce male gametes (sperm cells). Pollen grains have a hard coat made of sporopollenin that protects the gametophytes during the process of their movement from the stamens to the pistil of flowering plants or from the male cone to the female cone of coniferous plants. If pollen lands on a compatible pistil or female cone, it germinates, producing a pollen tube that transfers the sperm to the ovule containing the female gametophyte. Individual pollen grains are small enough to require magnification to see detail. The study of pollen is called palynology and is highly useful in paleoecology, paleontology, archaeology, and forensics.
Pollen in plants is used for transferring haploid male genetic material from the anther of a single flower to the stigma of another in cross-pollination. In a case of self-pollination, this process takes place from the anther of a flower to the stigma of the same flower.

Life Of Crap
by: PollenI've had it with this life of crap
There's no one who I can trust
I'm not happy with this life of crap
It's gonna be a total bust
There's no purpose to this life of crap
I'll wind up dead in the end
You can't help me through this life of crap
I don't need a single friend
Late at night when I'm not sleeping
Eyes wide open waiting for that girl
The one who used to be such a part of me
Even now I still need to defend
That she's not one of them
You'll find numbers in this life of crap
But I know your not the one
To get caught up in my life of crap
I bet your conscience must weigh a ton
Late at night I get this feeling
Can't think straight
Cause I just don't feel safe
I can't articulate
I'm cracking from the weight
And still I'd gladly give it all
Just to hold hands in the mall
Who ever told you that things would be great
Who ever told you that things would work out
Well whoever told you they told you a lie
I used to think it could
I used to think it would
But that was when I had you
And now I don't
And everything that I've got left is just a bunch of crap
I got no use for other people
They all suck I don't want anyone else
This senseless waste of life is worthless without you
And your heart
And I don't know what to do without you
To tell me that one day
Things will be ok
Cause they won't
And I don't know if I wanna do it without you
I can't make it through this life of crap
