Colorful Daughters

The explosion has left behind fragments of shapeless triangles that have been marked with our fate. I wish I didn’t have to show up today, because next to you I feel like the invisible continent of Africa that no one wants to rescue. Because they don’t try hard enough to deal with the issues. After that explosion I saw fragments of smoky glass and if you look real close it will determine your class. So we have hidden ourselves behind crowded buildings, with hopes of being enlarged. Like a barge that carries loads of sympathy for the colorful daughters. Nothing is confidential, why must everything be up for discussion. Colorful daughters keep something to yourself, practice making motionless sounds from your soul. Why don't you paint something that no one will know. They say “We don’t know how to defend ourselves against the evil earthquake". So I said pray, with the hope that one day we will all be shielded by a protective bubble umbrella.
