Colour Blind
I don't see how it matters
Should we be brindle, black, or white
After all our colour
Is governed by our sight
So in a world of darkness
We would be all the same
How can there be a difference
Our eyesight is to blame
So how about we take a look
See what goes on inside
So judge people by their character
And use no

Roses are red violets are blue.
What kind of idiot should I call you.
Are you colour blind? why can't you see,
Violets are red, Roses are blue,
DUMMY

Colour-Blind
Isn't it funny that we think in colour but,
When it's racial we ’don’t see colour’ and,
When it suits you, you ’don’t see colour’ but,
When we need a job you can see colour?
It's very funny that this world is colourful.
What would happen if we all were colour-blind?
No more barriers, no more coloured mind?
I

Black white or in-between
We're all part of this great big scene
Kids are unbiased
Unaware what's ahead
Early years dictate what's routine

You're different from me
You're black
Fancy that
You're different from me
You're white
That's alright
It's alright if you're white
Fancy that
If you're black
You're no different from me
Both coloured
Can't you see

Aha! The lad has achromatopsua.
It's incurable and hereditary.
Then my mother fainted.
Since there was no cure for this dreaded disease,
will they put me up for adoption?
I wondered if

The Colour Blind Painter
.
I found it between freshly cut buttercups
and a cerulean sea
Splashed upon a canvas
of a painter' s fantasy .
I am colour blind , yet since I was a child
I could feel, I could taste, I could hear
I could smell ,all that I couldn't see .
And its green. It

Colour Blind
In this world there is right and wrong, you can see it for real or in words of a song. Some people can only see just black and white, it's like tunnel vision they'll always be right. At the end of that tunnel where it's always night, they can't see that rainbow born of the

Justice Is Colour Blind
A blot they want to wash, detergents do not work
Ineffectual, institutional and cover ups a stir
Excuses abound, squirming hierarchy found
"Its just a darkie, why so narky"
The corridors would sound
It still goes on, gone several years
Distrustful patronising leaders
A scurge we hope that does not surge
To Nazi ways and olden days
Where races they would

Black, White, Asian,
we are all created equal.
Souls are becoming blinded
by hatred and overwhelming
deceit.
But God remains colour blind.
We drown in an ocean of
his golden words that reflect
truth and trust; truth and
trust that can cure these
poor souls that are poisoned
by a decayed reality of lost
faith; it remains spinning in
a whirlpool of broken lies
and hidden faces.
