Ribbon, ribbon, ribbon

So many uses for the little strip of cloth
It decorates tokens of love and care
It adorns clothes and hair
It is snipped up for projects
And unravelled for fun
It can hold pendants or be tossed into trees

So many colors for the little strip of cloth
It is plain and simple
It is expensive and bejeweled
It is shiny yet plain
And simply fun
It can be cloth or plastic

It can be a bracelet or a noose that ironically it the thing that drips the restraints of society

How pretty is the little roll of cloth that can start a revolution or end a life.

All that power, in a little strip of cloth.

Unassuming, dainty, and small
