Okay, so I've been working on this poem for a while because I was not pleased with the original message... Somehow it just wrote itself, but I think I've "taken back control" now. Hope you guys like it!
On a canvas I paint the world I see
I use all nuances to paint the diversity
I know every color has its own charm
But favoring we cause so much harm
I look at all the history, the facts, all that I know,
I strip myself of colors, I know they're faux
Nothing is left, but the reflection of light
I dip my hands into the opposite of white
Tears run down my cheek, with fists I rub my eyes
If we can't handle the beauty we must pay the prize
Colorblind, all paintings black, white and gray
a world with no pretty tricks for our minds to play
Maybe we then could live peacefully, day by day?
Constructive criticism is very welcome!
