Roses

They say “Roses are sweet and so are you”
But they don’t say
Roses are dangerous and so can you be

They don’t believe it’s a lie
A lie to children
who will later grow up and die

When they finally realize
Roses aren’t sweet
and that they aren’t either

Then what would happen?

Some will rebel
Some will feel and become a rose of adults
fascination
Others will know that it is hard to be sweet
like the Rose

Especially for her
which touches the fire of Hell’s Gate

Roses are sweet and so are you
The Devil will come
with thorns and red blood
To snatch your dreams and innocence
away
