Ode to life (and my reason for it)



Ode to life (and my reason for it)
Standing in the gloom
Only dust and dirt to see
Black faces everywhere
Anger, seething from pores
Dread filling empty hearts

A mind between stands oblivious
Pictures so vivid and beautiful
Of many greens, and leaping through trees
An immaculate bright blue stream
Skips past an amethyst stone

Past a blithe pixie
Barely visible in its reality
An emerald stone is about its neck
The stone glints and catches the warm sun
Keeping the vision alive

Harmonious pipes sound
The pretty chirruping of Bambasires
Dazzling creatures unknown
Chanting in foreign tongues
Dancing elegantly

Happiness radiates as pearls and pinks
Oh for my happiness
Oh to be there
And oh to be free
