Numero Uno :) Red, Black, Yellow, White

Hey everyone, this is my first blog ever!
Basically I just want to share thoughts, ideas, events and anything else I think is worth sharing/thinking about.
And as this is my first Blog I thought it would be appropriate to share something I wrote a very long time ago but I think is still relevant today.

It's called 'Red, Black, Yellow, White', I wrote it about 15 years ago and it was published in a local book in Victoria called 'Stories From Home' in 2002 (I think).

RED, BLACK, YELLOW, WHITE

We see mean and cruel things everyday, "oh no but we're only playing"
People are hurt and they are decieved but they all blow away just like leaves.
From where is this pain? From where is this torture?
I just can't bear, I can bear it no longer.

It's in the streets, it's in the alleys, it's in the meadows, it's in the valleys.
From where is this torture, from where is this pain? I hope I never see your face ever again!
You are the lies, you're the deciet. If you are anything, it is not discreet.
You are the problem and I am the cure. You better watch out, am I gonna kill ya?

That is the question, what do you say? Are you gonna live another day?
And go back to hiding and go far away, so the sun can shine but one more day.
But if I see you and you are not dead, you better hope to god and pray instead...
That I am not like you.

I don't hit you and kick you and stab you with stones, and throw out words that can break your bones.
But instead I'm forgiving and loving and caring and everything else nice, loving and sharing.
And offer you a place back home, cause you have no place left to roam.

Cause you've used all the people, you've spat in their faces.
You've stirred up a storm with all of the races.
The Red and the Yellow, the Black and the White.
Everyone seems to join in the fight.

It's cause people like you there are wars and disease and someone else you forgot to tease.

I hope one day they pay you back and force you to live in an old haystack.
To feed off the berries and sleep with the chooks.
That's where you belong. You deserve Not One Look!


Thanks for reading :)
Just a thought...
