What Colour Peace

A mystery unravels
When every clue is solved
The secret is revealed
The map to all unfolds

The problem with this clarity
Is that it's black or white
And the infinite gifted colors between
Are denied the chance of flight

So is it best when colors fight
For rights to tell their story
Is it best for them to earn a glance
At good old-fashioned glory?

So tell me simply
Tell me now
Before the water's cold

Because if the truth
Is stranger than fiction
I'll take my secrets untold

And so it remains
An odd dilemma
A clue
A puzzle
A mystery

But isn't that better
Time and again
Than creating bloodied history?
