Colors

by Saige   Jan 16, 2005


How does when define colors
To someone void of sight?
The vivid hues of a rainbow
Lost to those with no light.

Is it red that defines anger
in their heart that is planted,
for being robbed of a sense
most others take for granted.

Does yellow explain caution,
for each step that they take.
For one careless move
can be a fatal mistake.

Green can represent envy
of those with the light.
A mere opening of the eyes
frees us from the night.

Only black is the color
they know oh so well.
Felt by so many
as a pure living hell.

Light can be deceiving
the colors a ploy.
A clever disguise
a rue, a decoy.

Maybe they are the blessed,
Those robbed of the light.
Living in constant darkness
Gives them the true sight.

They see the true colors
what’s behind a rainbow’s light .
Understanding the true contents
not judging by first sight.
