Violets are deceitful, duplicitous
and second-tier
and Red is too common
and choices are too similar
and symbols are conditioning
and conformity is comfort
and values are double standards
and morals are policing
and status quo is structure
and policies are profiteering
and popularity makes you right
and power is patriarchal
and the spirit is sugarcoated
and strength is testosterone
and religion saves us savages
and prisons protect the saints
and schooling indoctrinates understanding
and knowledge is hollow
and so wisdom is shallow
and history is forgotten
and culture is consumerism
and truth is misleading
and adults corrupt our youths
and youth is ignorant and immature
and privilege is color-coded and inherited
and money is life
and fear is God
and love is foreign
and war is natural
and hate is formal
and its all the Devil’s fault
and life is typical
and days are anticlimactic
and thoughts are basic
and creativity is despondent
and intimacy is detached
and oh,
I got you some Red Roses to match!
