The roses were red
The violets once blue
And I cry for the world
that they never knew
The violets have wilted
The rose petals gone
The dark sky an astringent reminder
of where we went wrong
What are these things called roses
And violets, what are they
We should have thought about our world
And how we could affect it in future days
Long gone are all the roses
Long gone are the violets so blue
Long gone are all the people
because we didn't think our actions through
So instead of thinking about heaven
and hell in the after life
The only afterlife we should think of
Is the one we leave behind
