For me I prefer colour....

For me I prefer colour....

A Poem by andrew mitchell
"

thinking of colours dark and light!

"
For me I prefer colour....
When someone says:
" It's really Black 'n' white."
You just know
it's  " Either or!"
with streaks of grey 
maybe shades of fifty!
Still it is  " Either or! "
Black 'n' white;
Uncompromising, unambiguous,
absolute, rigid.
Almost has racist connotations
being monochrome, old fashioned,
behind the times
even communistic in portrayal;
that detail for dullness,
oppressive.
.
For me.....
colour develops one's character.
Colour has emotions;
what one wears advertises
who you are
as a person
dressed in colours.
Colour tells
compared to ....
the suppressed state;
Black 'n' white.
Yep!  
colour transcends,
embracing
while....
darkness has always been cold;
black 'n' white.
As they say;
"It's either or."

Yes, although my cat is black and white, generally I prefer Shades of Red.
