“Roses are red. Freethinkers are few. If you keep obeying orders you’ll have a chip inserted in you”

“Roses are red. Free thinkers are few. If you keep obeying orders you’ll have a chip inserted in you” is an anti-government poem that has been printed on many images.
 
“Roses are red, 馃尮 Free thinkers are few, If you keep obeying orders, You’ll have a chip inserted in you” was posted on Twitter by sassygreeneyes (and others) on May 9, 2020. The saying probably originated on an image.
   
       
Wikipedia: Roses are red
“Roses Are Red” is the name of a classic children’s rhyming poem. It is also a class of poems inspired by that poem. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 19798. It is most commonly used as a love poem.
       
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Sugar is sweet;
And so are you

Best comment read on a thread this morning: 
‘Roses are red, freethinkers are few. If you keep obeying orders, you’ll have a chip inserted in you.’ 
And who said the paranoid can’t write poetry.
