If Only There Was a Fair Lady

No one seeks the Rose of Sharon, despite her being declared as the maiden so fair, by King Solomon, The truth of the matter is, her complexion is not fair enough, to give her cross-over appeal allowing the Knights of the Round Table to "wheel and deal", Yet, no one would dare say it is really that way, for fear of being accused of bigotry and prejudice, Despite her brilliance and favour from God, The Rose Of Sharon was used and cast aside as if she were manure or sod, If only she were a fair lady she would have received the world and all the help required to succeed, but the color charts would not permit, therefore, sensibilities took heed, and great achievments from a rose colored wit would not be seen, because it would be unbearable to watch the raisin in the sun preen.
