Stating Facts of Life

Color

When Red hits the screen

We assume it's something bad

It represents negativity

And resembles being mad

And when Orange makes its presence

No one bats an eye

It's often a last choice

It almost makes you want to cry

Yellow is too bright

And too much for some folks

It's too hard to see

It's overlooked and choked

And when one mentions Green

We imagine something vile

A color longing to be better

And leaving in denial

But Blue is loved a lot

Possibly the most

We think of diamonds and gems

And the sea at the coast

Though, Purple's a mystery

And is waiting to be found

Especially since

It is often left out

Pink is too sweet

Makes people feel sick

Is only a volunteer

And is never the first pick

Grey is too sad

Too gloomy and a bummer

Is never enjoyed

In the Spring or Summer

And Brown is forgotten

And relies on the others

And doesn't seem to get along with

All the other colors

And Black is the absence

The long, dark night

Can never mean good

And disappears in the light

It's shunned and lost

And speaking of light,

Did I tell you about our good friend

White?

For White is everything

Good and Bad

From Red to Black

It's all you've ever had

People love White

In all of its glory

It's the lamp that helps you see

And the pages of a story

And because White is everything

Including the colors aforementioned,

Let me tell you something

That is sure to break the tension

The colors that were said

Explained things too tough

But White is made of all those colors

Yet still receives some love

All of us are everything

And are loved by others

We also make up everything

And that's the beauty of colors
