Heathrose Red'n Blue

[Rosenblüte]

Once a boy a Rosebud spied,
All array'd in youthful pride,
Kicked her that she almost died
By the early morning light.

But the Heathrose blue and red
Would arise from her death bed,
Raised her head and danced ahead
Til damn sexism was dead.

[Ex-Bane]

So what exactly is this crap?

Note: It's not all a poem that rhymes.

But it is always the same dog barking up the wrong tree.

Zitat von Ilka-Maria

But it is always the same dog barking up the wrong tree.

Right.

Well, the poem is inspired by the "Heideröslein". It's about one of the many, many women who are badly abused. But they will no longer keep silent. Tomorrow, on V-day, one billion women all over the world will rise and dance against sexism and violence.
