Roses Are Red, revised (had a lot of mistakes before)

Roberta's voicemail to Elton: Today's protest rally

Roses are red,
bear spray is for bears,
the human you sprayed
suffered retinal tears.
If you need to defend yourself
order some mace.
If I see more bear spray
I will cut up your face.
Elton to Roberta: Moron.
Roses are red,
You're not as smart as you think.
If you don't watch your mouth,
you'll end up in the clink.
I happen to know
several cops and a judge.
If you don't show respect
I will beat you to sludge.
Roberta to Elton: Hypocrite.
Roses are red,
You threatened me too.
If today I'm arrested,
tomorrow it's you.
I have talked to your friends
and I know you are bluffing.
Leave me alone
or I'll rip out your stuffing.

Elton to Roberta: Cease and desist.
Roses are red,
Jail is boring.
There isn't good food
or even adequate flooring.
If you don't stop now
I will call the police.
I will get your ass charged
with disturbing my peace.
Roberta to Elton: Protect yourself.
Roses are red
and I happen to know
what happens to those
who ignore my big "No."
I happen to know
you refused the vaccine.
And the jail you're going to
is not that clean.
Elton to Roberta:
Open your eyes, you fucking sheep.
Message:
Roses are red,
covid doesn't exist.
If you mention it more
I will get very pissed.
This only confirms
you're an ignorant twat.
You've got one more chance.
Take that chance while it's hot.
Roberta to Elton: Jail
Message:
Roses are red,
the judge won't be impressed.
If you don't wear a mask
it's like being undressed.
As soon as you enter
the courthouse to fight
the fool you think I am,
the judge will say I'm right.
Elton to Roberta: Face diapers and covid tests
Message:
Roses are red,
You got me arrested.
They're trying to force me
to get myself tested.
I never asked for this.
I do not consent.
When I said there'd be trouble
this is not what I meant.
Roberta to Elton: Tough titmouse.
Message:
Roses are red,
I am laughing so hard.
And now you are playing
the sympathy card.
Elton to Roberta: I'm scared.
Roses are red,
as I lay in my cell
I have a bad cough
and am not feeling well.
You put me in this place.
Please make this shit right.
Please bail me out
by the end of tonight.
Roberta to Elton: Bail fail
Message:
Roses are red,
grapes are sour.
You've been blowing my phone up
for a good hour.
I could give you the number
for a good lawyer, rather--
but right now I'm tired.
I'd rather not bother.

Elton to Roberta: Please help me, this is a medical emergency.
Message:
Roses are red
and I can't catch my breath.
Know that your ass
is the cause of my death.
You got me locked up
without medical care.
Just because what I sprayed you with
was for a bear.
Roberta to Elton: Consequences
Roses are red,
covid isn't a joke.
It isn't my fault
if you suddenly choke.
You denied it existed
and called me a twat.
You are what's twisted
and I am what's not.

Elton to Roberta: Please... follow your conscience!!

Message:
Roses are red,
I am coughing up stuff.
Don't you think by now
that enough is enough?
My lungs are on fire
and you should be too.
You should burn at the stake.
I'm disappointed in you.
Roberta to Elton: Spirituality
Message:
Roses are red,
you can die on your own.
If you need me so much
then why not change your tone?
You're acting entitled.
You are an incel.
After your lungs burn to death
you'll keep burning in hell.
Elton to Roberta: Last words
Roses are red,
I'm in quarantine.
I still don't know why
you are being so mean.
I could have destroyed you
but instead I am talking.
I have every right to.
Don't think about blocking!
Roberta to Elton: Evidence
Roses are red,
and you are now stuck.
Don't bother complaining.
I don't give a fuck.
You refused all the signs
and you kept saying no.
You are lucky you aren't dying
out in the snow.
Elton to Roberta: Please
Message:
Roses are red,
I am in so much pain.
I just hurt over.
It's addling my brain.
I don't feel like eating.
My nose is all runny.
You need to post bail.
This is no longer funny!
Roberta to Elton: Poor you.
Roses are red,
do you even take the test?
You don't sound that bad.
You should see yourself as blessed.
Stop trying to con me
and use guilt and shame.
You think you are clever
but you are just lame.
Elton to Roberta: Call someone for me-- please!
Roses are red,
I am dying in here.
I have pain all over;
my lungs are not clear!
I passed out when I stood up.
I sleep all the time.
This is the direct result
of living in grime.
Roberta to Elton: You have lost your reality.

Message:
Roses are red,
bail's not cheap.
You are one of the ones
that the jail will keep.
I'd just leave you there
even if I could pay.
You need to calm down
when not getting your way.
Roberta to Agatha James, Esq.: Confidential request for council
Message:
Roses are red,
and yes, bear spray's for bears.
But I lied about damage
and nobody cares.
Now everyone hates me.
I'm in some hot water.
I need someone with a wand
like Harry Potter.
My eye doctor confirmed
that the bear spray did nil.
But I told everyone
it's effecting me still.
I dug me a hole
and now I can't get out.
And now those on all sides
think that's what I'm about.
I thought I'd use someone
as a scapegoat to blame
and decided my victim
when Elton took aim.
I washed out my eyes
but I got quite the scare.
I did more destruction
than an actual bear.

You might need a new one. We all do sometimes.

To everyone in the world, myself included sometimes: If dehumanizing anyone is part of your religion, you need a new religion. If dehumanizing others is part of your job, then you need a new job. If dehumanizing people was part of your education, then you need a new education. If dehumanizing you is how your family bonds, then you need a new family. If dehumanizing you brings your friends closer together, then you need new friends. If dehumanizing someone is a release for you, then you need a new release. If dehumanizing anyone is a pastime for you, then you need a new pastime. If dehumanizing anyone at all, any sentient being, or everyone, or a few, or certain types, even sometimes, is your lifestyle, then you need a new lifestyle. I would never tell you WHAT lifestyle to have, just pick any one that doesn't involve or include or encourage dehumanization of anyone!

I'm back with a brand new rant about an old AND new issue.

The issue is this:  Don't ever call me passive and then expect to remain on good terms with me. "Passive" is not a neutral statement. "Passive" means stupid. "Passive" means incapable. "Passive" means lazy. "Passive" means confused, which basically in this case also means stupid. "Passive" means cowardly. "Passive" means not all there or vegetative. "Passive" can also mean boring, but that's the least of our worries given the other things it means. It is not a neutral term. Use it if you want; I'm not the speech or thought police. But using it on me will cost our friendship. Because just like I can't and would never force you to speak a certain way, you can't ad shouldn't want to force me to take demeaning, degrading treatment. "Passive" is the assumption that I don't have good reasons for being quiet or civil, or that I shouldn't be allowed to choose for myself whe...
