Colors

Colors

Is there is a palette
on which the balance
of the additive colors
in our world 
are in harmony with 
their subtractive counterparts?

Where the sharp
divisions of conflict
are blurred with pastels
that melt away
the fear and trauma
with smooth indelible strokes
of human color
that can never fade?

Alas, if not
then our world
shall always be
a shattered sphere conflicted
by shards of black and white.
