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/
