Looking Through Shades Of Colors

The meaning of colors.

 

If only the world revolved around blue tranquility

would spread like wild fire in the windy breeze.

People would feel safe and secure.

Composures would be calm.

Black, white, mexican and Indians, we all would

come together hand in hand as if we're cut out

paper dolls, getting along with each other.

War wouldn't survive.

Peace would reign.

 

If only yellow would surround the earth sadness

would be deleted from lives.

Tears would dry up.

Frowns would turn into smiles.

Happiness would intervene.

Joy would spill from everyone's being.

Optimistic and cheerfulness would live,

causing a warming effect in souls.

 

If only pink and red orange would correspond

in marriages their would be no divorces.

Love and romance would bring togetherness.

Desire and sexual passion would grow stronger.

    BUT....

 

Red is everywhere.

Wars are raging.

People are fighting.

No end in sight.

Red as hot as hell's fire destroying the earth,

and anyone who gets in the way.

 

Dark Red bleeds in,

trying to bring back leadership, courage and willpower.

People need to take a stand to stop the nonesense

our world is coming to.

 

Black as the night.

People live in fear.

Grief strickens many.

The end of time is nearing.

 

If only the world would revolve around green

harmony would be seen and felt.

Everything would become fresh.

Growth would rebuild and correct mistakes.

 

      IF ONLY.....     

 

 

           

     

 

 

 

Author's Note

There are alot of colors, but I only touched on a few in my poem. Something I've been wanting to do is write a poem on colors, this it what I came up with.
Tell me what you think!

Reviews

[Wolf's Dark Song]

I love this, very clever indeed. Color is very powerful in our lives, color can mean so much more than just a shade on the color wheel as you so well show in your piece.

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

I love the contrast in this poem. Its kind of ironic how there is balance in this work and in life...we have good and also bad..but bad seems to always be in the spotlight.

Its just like the "Hitler Mustache"...It provokes anger and disgust in people...
but that memory totally overshadows all of the joy Charlie Chaplin brought to the world with the same strip of hair.

[Priyankaabhilaashi]

Fantastic..!!!

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

If only............very profound, excellent poem!

[Branches]

I not only like this poem, I also like the values from which you derive your ideas. Nice job.

[LA Lorena]

I liked this colourful poem, I think you did a nice job of it. It's a stunning visual delight of a poem.

[Poetic Beauty]

You make some very valid strong points in this piece using color to make a clear statement. I like the use of the colors it makes the poem vivid.

[Tina Kline]

This shows how colors symbolize different things. Very well done how you pulled all the colors together with their meanings and created a fantastic write!

[Judy Ponceby]

I think you did a fantastic job. Expressing on global scale the effects of our world and the representations of the colors that could impact it. Beautiful. :)

[Chris Smith Welshpoetcs]

This actually paints your words to perfection, a good visual poem my friend.
