The Beautiful Red Rose

A wilt flower,
The lost fragrance,
It will never recover,
For eternal, being left aside.

In its prime,
The fragrance is much sweet,
Enough to tempt bees,
A generation was born.

Oneness and self-deluded,
Being admired but left-deserted,
Thorns that sting and wound,
A generation is lost and downed.
