Roses and Violets

  Roses are red, violets are blue, pain in my sleep, sick like the flu. Double down on the love, can we have less hate? Everyone spread, everyone initiate. 

  Play the role of the sun, shine and influence everyone. Too much hate to come by, let’s sing a woodstock lullaby. If everyone took a second to stop and smell the fresh air, the negative hate wouldn’t be everywhere. 

  Look at the faces, the beautiful pigment, color everywhere on every ligament. Respect and peace is all society needs, to thrive and flourish not be bleak. 

No more bombs, threats, or guns, take time to learn and love everyone. Violence spreads quicker than a wild fire, just a please and thank you is all I desire. 

Smell the roses and execute the negative, smell the violets don’t be repetitive. Repressed feelings and emotions, let them out and let them flood like the ocean.
