Bold Black
Black Dahlia, lily, rose, cosmos, tulip, pansy,
Attract more than multi-colored flower-fancy...
Black - an amalgamation of colors many,
Has lots of rainbows hidden, within its belly!
Symbol of strength, wealth, elegance, intelligence;
Death, decay, and unknown too is black resilience!
Color Black can courageously stand up and say:
I help you, colors, to stand out and stably stay!
Blackness covered all before God's new creations,
Death and devil too are black-power foundations.
Humans need not cling to fairness or goldenness,
God has dwelling also in good-willed dark boldness.
Orange, yellow, green - cannot indigo avoid,
If Rainbow drops any, won't God's designs go void?
Applauding all colors is a human response,
Avoiding any, simply, is impuissance!
