"WHAT IF IT WERE ROSES?"
by Alice 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 striked 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, do I think, do you So take a stand It's just a plant And it's good for you. copyright by the authority of the World Intellectual Properties Organization October 29, 1999 Alice C.
