I wish that I could tell you why
The grass is green and blue’s the sky,
That clouds are white but sometimes gray
Which indicates a rainy day.
I really do not have a clue
If bluebirds all are colored blue
Or if a robin’s breast is red
What color could it be instead ?
I’d like to think there is a plan
That’s meant to help me understand
Why colors are of such import
Among the many things we’re taught.
There are issues labeled black and white
Does that mean everything’s alright ?
Imagine life as colorless,
This world of ours would be a mess !
