Why discriminate?

Location

 

I see you everyday and everyone else does too. Sometimes you look ugly sometimes you’re see-through. Blues. Reds! Why the distinction? Can’t we all just blend. Purple is good, what’s wrong with that? Even in school the colors compete. Orange, yellow, green and purple; you wear one all four years. You stick with your color like a family but every once in a while the colors should come together. The girls are pink the boys are blue? How old are we? If I like you and you like me why can’t we be friends! Just because were different doesn’t mean were not the same. All us colors mix! Blue and green make yellow. Yellow and red make orange. If we’re supposed to be so different why do we combine and make beauty?! Tell Me WHY! I can actually tell you why, the people on top say who we can and can’t be! I say, ignore the people and be fluid and free. The color wheel must be square, because it’s not rollin’ great. Everyone get out a knife and make these corners round! The wheel was invented and we can change it without letting it turn to dust. But! Even when we come together eventually we will part; when colors mix too much or too long it won’t look very nice. Lets have a relationship where the door will never close and always be open. Our color wheel is at peace. Thank each other for creating a rainbow.
