LET’S COLOUR THE WORLD By AK, Philippines
Let’s colour the world by touching, by listening, by smelling, by tasting, by seeing, Black facing the shadows of our past ghost that enveloping our loneliness trapping our shouting feelings, thoughts and knowing but we will face you heads-on freeing ourselves inside the cage of fear Green plant the seed of hope giving life to the hopeless and share the taste of greenness of life to everyone with a pinch of za’atar to give flavour and olive oil for the classic and pure taste of new beginnings Red steadfast blood will continually flow through our veins a legacy of steadfast life in the midst of struggle flaming hearts of hope will never die we have the power to bring change and will shout with fierce and gladness that we will fight until the end White We’ll not surrender the life that the Maker has given us Bonded by solidarity and understanding for each other These are some of the powerful weapons that the Author of Life has given In the midst of these cruelty and struggle Sharing blessings to uplift everyone’s life And illuminating light of hope to the slowly, dying, beating heart… Come, let’s colour the world!
