We Paint the White Roses Red

Dye the dirty water with contaminates:                          Blue #1,                                                   and Sucralose, too. Bend over to spray                          the rotting road-kill with perfume. Perfect the recipe                          for what was fleshed and fruited                                                   from animals and plants. Photoshop the starved and diseased                          with smiles                                                   and beautiful bodies. Clothe the raped                          with lingerie, with heels,                                                   and with stones. Paint the roses red.                          We paint the white roses red.                                                   We’re painting the white roses red!
