THE ROSE

If I were a Rose painted black,
would you cast me aside
like blackened, burnt rice?
Would my color tarnish my sweet smell?

If I were a Rose painted black,
would the richness of my ebony petals
make me unworthy
of being called a Rose?

If I were a Rose painted white,
would my ivory petals
be worth more than silver?
Would my sweet smell
captivate a room welcomingly?

If I were just a Rose,
sweet-smelling and vibrant
and your mind was blind
would my color matter?

Author's Note

I can't stand racism no matter what kind.
I'm going to say something now and yes it's the (TRUTH) IF YOU ARE RACIST AGAINST YOUR FELLOW MAN (YOU ARE RACIST AGAINST YOURSELF) JUST THINK ABOUT IT WE ARE ALL HUMAN, ITS LIKE A BLACK DOBERMAN PINCHER BEING RACIST AGAINST A WHITE OR A BROWN DOBERMAN BECAUSE OF THEIR COLOR, AN THE CRAZIEST SHIT IS THEY ARE ALL THE SAME DOGS. SO HOW DOSE THIS MAKE ANY SENSE BECAUSE IT DOSENT MAKE SENSE TO ME.
