that which we call a rose
By any other name
would smell as sweet."
Even in my dreams, I won't dare
to argue with you Mr. Shakespeare!
But far too many delicate roses
are renamed post-wedding.

Traditions and elderly wisdom
silences the mothers of all hybrids,
when their rosebuds are named
using a biased nomenclature.
Let's leave patriarchy aside,
even this quote won't be
taken in the same stride
if it wasn't connected to thee.
Your works have eternalized
your name in the pages of history.
Others just scribble away theirs
on the monuments visited.
Is this much ado about nothing?

I like your choice of subject. However, I feel that you could work slightly better on the contradiction between Shakespeare's statement and your perception of the importance of the name. Why not work towards this idea taking the clash point of the notion that an entity remains the same regardless of its identity rather than decreeing the nomenclature to be outdated?
