My True Colours

are just black and white ~ grey areas in between the nightmares ignite

doesn’t matter if i err left or right ~ minefields lead me here each night

It nice you really know who you are, some still search and live in a maze. The last Monoku could be read as political poetry, or am I missing the point lol! Brilliant cheers. ~Anaya

Heya Anaya, I wanted to encompass so much into this one, so it’s very nature covers most grey areas in life, left/right wing politics when extreme are brutal in nature, and more or less the same no matter which way one steps, thanks for your wonderful comment, cheers David

Minefields are everywhere in life Kim, some cannot be avoided, and must be crossed even in the dark, cheers David

Heya Karen, angst perhaps alongside multiple other deeper realities that make life what it is, cheers David

I won’t suggest any of us can avoid walking through minefields. That would mean we’d never set foot away from home and sometimes that’s not a safe haven either. Thoughtful material, David.

Heya Lin, it probably adds an extra menacing layer to negotiate minefields at night, but in truth it’s probably just as nightmarish during the day, yeah quite a bit going on here, thanks for stopping by cheers David
