This land, heavily rooted with thorns
Once was the home of coloured Rose.
The sight of it pleasant to the eye and
it''s breath sweeter to the nose.
Under the Rose was the comfort of life.
The land's lads survived with no sudor.
Then a giant butterfly arrived from a land and
with forceful permissions, planted another rose.
A rose that destroys Rose.
