Rose Red
October 17, 2021
White Rose
Blue Rose
Gold Rose
Black
Pink Rose
Purple Rose
Yellow Rose
Peach
A Rainbow of Roses
A Mural of Colors
Why Can't We See Their Beauty?
I Take One and Paint it Bloody
Red Lies and Myths Drip From The Petals
You Take Another and Dip it in the Blood of Braver Roses
Punished for Their Color
Put Out the New-Red Roses and Smile at Them Pretty
Even Though We All Know
They'll Never Be One of Us
The Vibrant Truth Will Always Shine Through
But Hidden Now in Shame
The Only Thing to Be Ashamed of
Is the Paint You Let Them Use.
