"Colors of Life"   10 - 27 - 02yu



1

do you see the red

the carrier of life

the color that continues

your daily strife



2

do you see the blue

its life depleted

only to have

the process repeated



3

do you see the white

this pure skin

the freckles that show

the taints within



4

do you see the black

the pupils gone wide

their secrets, disgraces

they no longer hide



5

the reds and blues

white and black

now all at peace

from the attack...



-----------------------------------------



i thought these up later on but couldn't find a way to fit them in... here they are:



6

can you feel the pulse

the rhythm of vigor

beating and beating

but only strong shivers



7

do you feel the warmth

the product of life

yet it harbors the cold

it hides the strife



8

do you see the despair

in the depth of eyes

hidden, in that pair,

a multitude of tries



9

can you see the picture

the grand scheme

the hollow, blank photo

the pointless theme?
