You may associate white with beauty or purity All I see is what looks empty like a page or a canvass for a writer or a painter You may think red is too bold Some associate it with blood So what? What if I tell you it’s my namesake? Besides, it reminds me of a cherry or a strawberry cake So black is always dark, a sign of some evil sparks? Come on, don’t be like that! It can be a solid outline or a fashion statement, perfect for every time and even every one What’s up with blue? Are you sad or just true? A royal blood, but is that really you? Wear that all you want You look just elegant How about yellow? That colour doesn’t look mellow Why hate the Oriental glow, when you know how far they will go? Learn from them You shall grow There’s nothing wrong with pink Okay, maybe it’s not really my thing It’s that awesome woman who can really sing (Pink!) or the strawberry milkshake I’d like to drink I don’t mind purple It doesn’t represent trouble Isn’t it wonderful if we start appreciating all colours as nothing but equal? I also love orange Don’t wince It reminds me of the fruit full of vitamin C which makes you healthy Let’s go green Where have you been? It’s a beautiful scene the loveliest you’ve ever seen It should be the earth we live in so don’t be mean What’s wrong with brown? Nothing, so what’s with the frown? Stop treating my complexion like dirt on the ground Like I’ve said, I need no whitening cream Your racist remarks make me want to scream Sometimes it’s okay if you feel like wearing grey Let bits of that in your dark hair Why should they care? It’s natural to age with grace Who are we to decide which colours that serve more rights? Shed some light Allow something dark All colours are part of this life... R.
