Erroneous Paint Masked Surfaces
Millions were deceived in my name;
Coated faces everywhere in my name;
Brutal wolves in a sheep’s clothing;
Like a deadly sea where all kinds of evil is unseen;
By their fruits, my name is painted in different colours;
Yet I’m not a rainbow;
I am brutally painted in thick rich black colour on my back.
My forehead painted in a dark red colour;
The colour of fire and blood, desire and passionate love
Violence and war, anger and danger;
That calls power into action;
Good and evil thoughts took hide behind red roses;
Good love could overcome bad love;
Emotional intense colour indeed, in my name.
It took a blink of an eye to flip the season;
Only a clock that counts the right time to pull the trigger;
Variety of paint dripping on the ground;
Evil and wickedness covered the good tree;
That I call a thief in broad day light;
That came in floods and swept away all my beauty;
Only a stem of the fallen good green tree remained on the ground;
No one could tell if it could still bear good fruits in the near future;
A spotless golden apple from it has become only a dream;
The paint suits their selfish ego;
I am only pure and rich;
I am like an apple without dents;
Enticing trillion eyes with its beauty;
I’m intangible, invisible yet alive;
I am not a rainbow;
I know no sin;
I am harmless;
I am caring, warm and full of live;
I am associated with white coloured garment;
Intentionally created to produce good crop;
My actions speak louder than an audible device;
Impartially, I hold peace for everything;
Only because I am a gift from above;
I am white, pure and rich in colour;
Hello… my name is LOVE;
I am white, pure and rich;
I am colourless yet rich;
I reward with joy, peace and happiness;
Patience, kindness and goodness my loyal fans;
Sponsored by faithfulness and self-control;
That’s how I distinguish myself;
I am capable of changing stubborn situations
I am an asset of the heart
My dwelling place, a heart of a human being
The blind shy away from me
Fake paint artist have become a norm
Their hearts preoccupied by selfish desires
Deep Dark Ocean caged their hearts
Prison of hell is soon their new home
Destroying their eternal home
Everlasting beauty comes through me
Swim away for your life from darkness
Allow me occupy my dwelling place in you
Blessed you are, have found me in good time
As I take you in the light
Where you can shine too just as I am
Your future is bright in me yet I’m not a rainbow.
