Hue Obsessed Ideals

Hue Obsessed Ideals


No man my superior
Be, nor inferior
To a degree
When he and I agree


From despair’s begging cups
To wealth’s wanton cusp
When reason dies
All lies turn into flies


But before agreement
Must be interment
There, wherever
Hate scatters its fever


If man in his glory
Basks in infamy
Asks without shame
Why him? All stays the same


But if instead he says
Let us give praise
No matter the hue
For sure, dreams will come true


Hue obsessed ideals kill
Spreading terror still
In blazing fields
Wielding bucklers, and shields

Sage advice indeed, Alix. "But if instead he says Let us give praise No matter the hue For sure, dreams will come true"
