First Level of How We Can All Belong

Everyone back to grey unity of our colors shows the others we notice them today Everyone choose white or black you can always play shadow and follow each stage for three days. Everyone it's time for red and blue looking for the leaders of whose following who. You can always drop out and start again on another unsuspecting day Leaders now green and yellow hard to obsess this much and spotlight yourself in the hidden or obvious. Everyone back in black unity of our colors confuses leaders again we learn from them and maybe they follow or try to lead again Everyone its Orange or Purple stole the spotlight of yesterday and jumped ahead to foreshadow their parade Everyone it's time for all those names and numbers you can always single yourself out and start from the last back to the first on the most predictable days. Follow one another without obviousness of those who never even knew Easy to fail the others who may one day fail you too and show yourself for the unsuspecting fool. Everyone out of place something, anything white this level of control is addictive and honestly self right. Did anyone predict the unpredictable choosing black from red why won't i abuse you when you ignore the patterns i try to lend Everyone in yellow or blue such a cultic masterpiece of truth deception mischieviosness and deception Everyone in green or black I would give anything, anything to have you wear that choose new leaders to make the stage and then tomorrow do what you can to take it away Hard to obsess this much and try not to point out the three holidays that lie between the simple four day work week Easy to know within yourself that you may have accomplished, the impossible to obsess for 18 days and enjoyed the illusion that everyone else was too. Difficult to prove phenomenal masterpiece of everyday life My apprentices, what will you decide when you reach the 19th day? My adversary's does it make you glad that you can always try again? My masterminds, what will you decide to be the purpose of this when the choice is yours to decide? Will you see me following you when it's time?
