Colorblind
Red, orange, blue, yellow,
green, violet, and indigo.
These are nature’s colors on display.
Most people can see them any day.
However, some people are not right.
They live in a world of black and white.
What can they do when flowers look like a cloud?
Their privilege to see colors is not allowed.
Everything sighted is in shades of gray.
Those who are colorblind are living this way.
