What if it Were Roses
by
Alice C. Bateman
What if it were roses?
That were suddenly illegal?
What if we got arrested
For carrying a bud?
What if all God's Gifts
He's given us
Were struck off of our lists?
What if trees and grass
Had penalties
For growing on the hills?
What if the sunrise was illegal
And we couldn't
Watch the dawns?
I do not want this to happen
Nor, I think, do you
So take a stand
It's just a plant
And it's good for you
