roses are red,
violets are blue.

aren't violets violet, though?
and can't roses also be pink or yellow?

though i suppose it doesn't matter to old, white ladies who grip their designer bags extra tight when they see a ghetto kid walk by. it doesn't matter to the cat-callers who objectify young african-american women walking down the street late at night because they have curves. and it certainly doesn't matter to the policeman who just shot an innocent black boy, simply because he "looked suspicious."

people are unable to change the color of their petals;

it matters.
