Wear are You

You ask me what am I wearing A heart full of hazel hope A silver spirit daring and cherry caring My mind is not blind to green ghosts I’m carrying For teal time has designs of destiny I’m ferrying I wear ribbons in my hair The colors are significantly there One purple for my lupus flare Three pink for breast cancer share One black for the fact Black Lives Matter Brown for ancestors whose prayers are scattered To the four winds despite sins of slavery The brown ribbon given is one most dear to me Red for ed as education is a neon need Green as in collards for scholars to feed Our kids in school all need to eat Stop playing the fool make meals free Blue for the souls battling mental illnesses For many the truth is a battle with brilliance Yellow for the mellowed heart of the missing Orange for the natives and the real thanksgiving White is for the lives of victims of drunk drivers Lime is for all who serve and what they died for Peach is for peace I hope the world will know Clear is for you dear and whatever burdens your soul I wear these ribbons like sky wears rainbow I pray that we find our path no matter where we go
