This poem actually started out as an anti-Valentines piece, before becoming what it is now.
Roses ain’t red
And violets ain’t blue
Who says they are
Ain’t got a clue
Some may be black
While others are white
And those which are pink
Are no less right
And they’re so much more
Than colours and shades
They’ve a scent and shape
That never fades
Their colour should never
Define or dictate
It’s no reason to love
Nor reason to hate
Imagine how boring
Our gardens would be
If all roses were red
Like people say they should be
So quit fucking hating
For colour or race
It’s our differences
We need to embrace
Division is all
The bastards want
So lets just play nice
And stop being cunts
TLDR: fuck racism, fuck sexism, fuck homophobia, just fuck discrimination
haha the last line is priceless

It’s one of my favourites too, and has had generally the best reaction when I’ve read it live.
