White vs. The Color Chain

White vs. The Color Chain

Without color, there would only be black and white.

And as this statement is condensed to a second degree,

without color…there would only be white.

This would activate white into thinking white is right…

The painter would argue that white on white is monotonous, boring, and dry,

as his paintbrush skins a fruity filled palette of meshed mandarins and scarlet berries declaring,

"White lacks life."

White recites that he is necessary for nasal stimulation,

and powered eradication.

Besides, a stroke of itself outside a bottle labeled Liquid Paper??..

A blooper or a blunder is called for annihilation.

White proclaims, “White is prime.”

Meanwhile, kindergarteners attest, that white on white is simple and bland,

And that white Crayola?

They just can’t stand!...”It colors blank!” 

They chant, leaving it boxed,

as the isolated wax thing, sits lodged and mocked.

The youngins assert, “White’s not nice!”

White defends, “Matrimonies’  holy because of moi, me, thee…

one and only!”

“I grace swaddling blankets, covering a billion baby bodies bound home, before parents get rolling.”

White recites, “Brides n’ babes need me… Solely!”

Mandela advocates that apartheid is hate against his race.

On to say, white betterment, put him behind iron gates,

and that this moment in history, could never be erased.

Mandela states, “Let’s have light!”

Stopppp!  Shrieks Theo, approximating 92.3 times back-to-back with all this black and white crap which has gotten him Beat.

He pleads NO color lines and stresses, in the long run,

yellow and blue make green.

I talk like I’m Black, but I am Japanese.

Mulattoes are exotic breeds,

and God has created all things!
