The Fall of the Roses

It came up through the ground 
Slowing moving up the stem 
A sickness that turn  the roses 

To an ugly blackness 
The scent of ugliness filled
The air 

Humans worked  hard 
To come up with reason 
For everything within a humans mind 

Must have reason 

But humans has no true reason 
Why such beauty weep dying 

 Unsolved Mysteries
A distance memory to 
What once was
A picture implanted in ones mind 

For beauty has been dying for 
Century's 
Look around see how many memory's
 
Can be found 
Take a good look around 
The sickness is beneath the ground
