Ignore the Roses
ignore the roses, for their fate is to wilt how long will the bloom and the fragrance endure? born amidst cruel thorns full of sorrow and guilt grown into cruel petals and profoundly impure; with all false pride and in the mirthless joy they swell in the bounty of their bloody hue and smirk at the gentle lotuses that buoy over the noble ponds of holy waters blue. ignore the roses, for they're no immortal souls losing virginity while climbing up the bowers vain attempt to reach the heavens, what unreal goals !ever so inappropriate, these damned poor flowers!
