    The authors prove that for every polynomial ODE there exists a Carnot group where the trajectories of the ODE lift to abnormal curves. The proof defines an explicit construction to determine a covector for the resulting abnormal curves. Using this method the present paper poses new examples of abnormal curves in Carnot groups of high step. As a byproduct, the authors also prove that concatenations of abnormal curves have abnormal lifts.
