Better Bring Out More Rose

Quote Prompt: "How is it so easy for you to be kind to people?" he asked... Milk and honey dripped from my lips and I answered, "cause people have not been kind to me." -rupi kaur  






She was pouring honey into my blossoms 
I stopped her and asked,
Several times your roses have been looted
How can you still afford to open your lovely gates 
I have only two options, she said,
To go crazy, kill the looters and kill myself 
Or better bring out more roses
After all I am a woman
