Roses are the greatest vipers
their petals show subtle beauty
while their thorns' savage desire
lies just below the surface
My kind is like that
wee too bear a subtle beauty
and a savage desire
but ours does not hide
a rose does not sate it's thirst
but we do
and yet you call us monsters
you hunt us down
and celebrate our deaths
consider our heads and hearts as trophies
are we any different from the rose?
the rose you consider a gift
a symbol of love
yet deep down it wants only blood
it cares of nothing else
only survival
just as we do
just as you do
you kill to survive
just like us
we kill as well
we admit to it
you, however
you hide behind morals
say things like
"It is a righteous endeavor"
"they deserve it"
"it is the right thing to do"
you may hide behind these
if it is your wish
but deep down
you know the truth
and so do we
we do not need to hide it
we kill to survive
we do not hide our beauty
nor do we hide our thirst
we are just like the rose
our thorns are hidden beneath our petals
and yet so easy to see
we are simply hated
while the rose is loved
