Paradox

Anger- what is it? what color is it? And, what can we liken it to? Is it the thing that we feel before counting to TEN? Or is it why many Buddhists reflect in Zazen? Could it be White, like The Pillar Of Salt that became of Lot's Wife? Was it Black like the GLOVE Of Geronimo Pratt Or Silver like the Bullets which laid Amadou flat? The Blue Of Uniforms of those who Protect and who Serve? Maybe the pigment of a person who killed a sick perv Shaded Brown like the Projects, with no Hope/locked inside? Welfare Yellow like Cheese when you're stripped of your pride Surely it's the Green Of Saudi Arabia's Flag New York Gray like the Beggar who's treated like slag? Actually, it isn't manifested in colors Nor can it be defined Go now Entertain what I've said Remembering the Paradox is that we claim to see RED

Awesome, my friend, I admire your poetry. Yes, "The Full Moon" is enchanting to the masses, and strange things do occur. You're on point! Love, not empty space-not darkness, is the key of life-the rest is useless at the end! Thank You, Don!
