Roses burn the color red.
Violets are gentle and blue.
People are always cruel,
But are you cruel too???

Are you the one who holds out a hand, to those who so need a
friend?
Are you the one who passes by, ignoring the people's desperate pain filled cry??

Who are you?, in this world of evil hate.
Will you step up and take your place?,
Or stay confined in your quiet place?

You who have more than some,
But still ignores the people's song.
You who say you have nothing to give, while others fight still to live.

Who are you in this place of evil hate, when will you step up and take your place???

I can tell that you have talent... You can speak when no one else has the will. You can go beyond the stars! Into Hollywood! That's where your star will rest! You get it? Keep writing, and always speak out against what you fight for.
