Roses vs the World

A Poem

By elizabeth embryPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Roses are kind and gentle.

Comes in many colors.

It's a perfume.

A natural sweet perfume.

The way the roses bloom.

The way they look and smell.

It's magical and mysterious.

How can they be beautiful in a world like this.

This world is cold, dangerous, and dark.

It's the people that's on it.

Not caring who or what

their decisions effect.

As long as they get paid.

The world revolves around

money and what they can buy with it.

Not the sun.

Thinking about what the

next trend would be.

Roses and the world are opposite.

One is kind and gentle.

While the other one

is cold and dark.

The world should be a rose.
