Beyond Colour

Deep within the midst of sorrow

skinned with thick clouds of passion

in this dark place called self

Consciousness esteemed within walls of pride

black hearts fruiting bright souls

Lust of the red hills, beyond has but become

Seeds planted yet grow yonder


when we were still black we danced

contours have controlled our longings

move, and move- for that’s all we could do

for deep within the midst of our skins,

we remained

suspended in transitions of dimensional discrepancies

we remained

our skins aggressively ripped off from our constantly terrorized bodies

we remained

our passions exposed and paralleled to be less than those of monkeys

we remained

confusion, lack of direction, strong yet senseless

for the new elite had come


ravished by our sense of awareness, yet very much aware

Today we remain, who can contend the cruelty of another’s thoughts

God help us, for we have lost ourselves in search of others

Necessity became null, to a man’s heart, pride still rules

but its all that remains, beyond that, new worlds arise

red hills spoke a language unknown

to those who understood, it was honey to the ears

for beyond red hills, beyond prideful gestures

beyond self, beyond doubt, beyond conscious hearts

lies a very strong world, to take over this world


For at the end color gave history incomprehensible to man

and man found his feet through comprehending history

crossing the distinct boundaries laid by our forefathers

we lie freely side by side in green summer grasses,

gazing through the clear skies, our minds marching in agreements

with judgment postponed, knowing that hope lies ahead,

we are ready to face our fears
