This inscrutable sphere
Thorns that reside in the false, polished exterior
Remarks like veneer
futile, facile, fruitless
Malicious destruction
Prompting holocausts on
their bodies, their hearts
Words can sting
Detesting on fellow species
their identity, their sexuality, their race
exhibiting the art of exclusion
Thick, scarlet liquid
seeping out from lacerations that
opened and re-opened
from gunshots and grenades -
Yet the sophistication of
the alluring rose
conceals all faults of
human deficiency.
