As he said
“you wouldn’t ask why the rose that grew from concrete
had damaged petals”.
But you wouldn’t ask the how the thorns came to be
you wouldn’t ask why they poke out from the side of the rose.
As some sort of security system
you who admire the rose for its tenacity.
Neglect the thorns ability to protect the precious rose.
Early morning and restless nights that the thorns have to endure
in order for you to enjoy the rose.
The thorns go through a society of hate and neglect
all for the rose don’t ask me how ask me why.
You roses
you precious roses
I am your thorns.
