What is a colour by itself?
Does it have a name or an address?
Will it by itself do anything or harm anyone?
And yet we give it different names and attributes
Attach it to violence and hatred one day
And peace and harmony the next
Huge is the weight we put on it’s head
Much more than it can carry on it’s own
Hanging in the burden of it all
When will we take our portions?
How will we weigh our actions?
Who will anchor the pain?
Colours will always be there
In shades of red and white and green
Taking on the responsibility which never was to be
