Green

Green is a mix of blue and yellow, 
And indeed it is both normal and bold;
It pertains to land, country, plant and tree, 
And holds nature within its hand. 

It symbolises rightness in ecology,
As the environment of the bird and animal, 
It comes from plant chlorophyll which receives light, 
Changing its energy into photosynthesis. 

Plants breathe, and they breathe by chlorophyll, 
The green pigment in all plants and cyanobacteria, 
So when you say that life is not relational to you, 
Just look at a green apple or a kiwi fruit and laugh!

I was benumbed by the colour green as a small child, and would read my dad's encyclopedia for information about chlorophyll.

Again impressed of your special kind of poetry. Argumentum on kind of relatives (plants, animals and people) reminding me an Australian author like Kilkerry explaining steps of morals and HRM=human resources management (moral philosophy in subtle connection with Kohlberg moral develoment)
