ISO - "Something You Should Know"

Is that I love roses more than any other flower.

I love the way they smell and look,

The colors they come in,

The way they bloom in the sunlight,

The browning edges of the petals I have pressed.

I love the meaning they carry,

A complex emotion hidden in the layered petals.

An emotion I long to obtain.

So forgive me if I cry,

It’s just that the roses mean so much to me,

And I fear I will spend my whole life searching, 

For a rose without thorns.

If I were the hero embarking on their journey, this would be the turning point.      Our world is in a state of chaos. Disease decimates the population. Climate change threatens the well being of not just the human race, but the whole planet. Civil unrest and war turn people against each other. Politics and corruption paint the setting of a torn world in its darkest hour.     Among the disarray and mayhem rises a new generation. Too young to make a difference, but old enough to understand what is happening in the world around them. A generation who could not remember a lighter time and thus strived to make one for themselves. People who looked at the world around t...
