Tears of a rose

TEARS OF A ROSE

SUCHISMITA BASU ROY

I was the pride of my garden
With my bright red colour.
I was picked up by gentlemen
To increase their honor.

Though I had thorns
And people got hurt while picking me
Yet i had mesmerizing beauty
And people were soothed to see me.

But soon mankind turned cunning
And declared war against each other.
None came to visit me.
Cause they had arms to gather.

Stop......
You filthy man
You wise fool.
Is this what your parents have taught you?
Is this what you have learned in your school?
I am now no more vivid.
I am all damaged now.
But along with me my friends also died.
Now all I can do now is put my head down.
