Mankind's Ignorance
Colors,
A specter of light
no meaning or purpose
yet without them
not just the world
but everything on it
would perish
No direction
No warnings
No purpose
They guide us
tell us what is right or wrong
what is dangerous and what is safe
revealing emotions that without lay dormant
elimination of color
means the elimination of life
Even now with color
how do we know my colors are the same as yours
One can not describe a color
for it is limitless
Without bounds
color has no essence
color is the definition of essence
Who are we to have a favorite?
To pick a single shade of limitless possibilities
and with swagger say that one color is the best
take away even a single shade, a single color from the world
and the world will stop
destroying itself from within
It is when all colors are together
that the world can continue to spin
for life to be able to survive a day longer
it needs harmony
One to be so ignorant of this fact
you hold the arrogance of self righteousness in only one
Is pure mutiny
Jealousy is the only word to describe it
to not the how important a seamless pointless object is
For ignorance is bliss
