If a Palette is Wiped blank

A Palette is a blank slate
its when its splattered that it's sate
what would life that were a palette be?
it would start with a sober sheen
something yellow or green.

The first steps of a toddling born
would be as a cheerful morn
for don't we live dawn to dusk?
a splattering of blue
on the greenish earthly hue.

Now childhood is a gem
a sparkling diamond stem
in every heart a hidden star, true?
society sent some to the mine
and the rest play with an orange pine.

When little ones loose their way
and selling wares trying to make hay
what colour they'd be but a Shade of Grey?
If Laughter came in a brilliant blue
tears would sprinkle a reddish dew.

They say royalty is purple
and blood a crimson whirlpool
then why is gold yellow that belongs to every rich fellow?
They say a little child growing learns
that the shades of life are dissapated turns.

A Pink and a magenta represent what mood
if red and green and yellow is food
Strange, all a starving child earns is Blackened burns
when some went to the mines
and others played with orange pines

Did any one thing of those who lost life, parents, love
in the blast of a thousand guns? A bomb that sped from above?
The colour of an explosion said earthen earth and white light
the noise of a blast a briliant silver stars.

What happend to Mankind? what happened to humanity?
all it takes is a flashing light to wipe that palette blank.
like the slate that sank, in waters green and dank
Like the mine that swallowed 'em whole, and
the shop that prostituted innocent yellow hand.
The mouth that ate black bread while,
today's royalty ate purple mead and grapefruit white
in utter lavish exotic delight.
What happened? .... whAt? happened??
