Samuel Alemañy Poet I do not know?

Rose

Roses are read and violets are heard/ trying their hardest to put bullets into words/ twisting 
biblical passages into lyrical massacres/ assasinating characters with the finesse of humming 
birds/ 

Roses are written and violets are drawn/ like guns following the instructions of a yawn/ 
putting people to sleep like animals, worse than cannibals,/like a botanical sword similar to a 
thorn/ 

Roses are quoted and violets are recorded/ like violence when reported, misguided when i 
saw it/ pulling me in like a vacuum put here to teach,/ with the power of a butterfly, in the 
belly of the beast/
