Transformation of a Rose

Ooh my rose rose rose 
Your beauty sings of something 
Else. 
Surprise Surprise surprise 
You have changed your self 
You were once top shelf weed
Yes top shelf self 
Surprise  surprise surprise 
You were once a creed of God's 
Majesty 
Now you are disguised in every 
Eye. You have BECOME. what
You sought, artificial Petals and 
Stem. What a rosy future you
Have. No Need  for human care
Or God's good gracious grandsun. 
Surprise  surprise  surprise.
You are now IMMORTAL in your 
Artificial  LIFE!
No wilt or blight you need never
Know. 
The LEGACY of a rose was once
Something of loveliness and purity..
BUT.... in you my lovely rose, the
Legacy is a myth! 
Surprise  surprise  surprise 
You have arrived.... with.  Lies!
The Legacy of the Gardener at a
Time LIVED in your DNA. You WILT
NOT DECAY. 
Time  Time  Time 
Tick tock tick  tock tick
Surprise  surprise  surprise 
The weed's chromosomes are
ALIVE!!
