Black & White

Shadows give color, define the tribe
Color destroys the soul

Imagination is the greatest gift
I wish the world away
I dream of peace in the world

Hope strangles
In Black & White things seem simple
In Black and White we need not think of problems

Life seemed easier before I was a dream
Boats overturned on a river
Potential never fulfilled
I dream of Memphis before Elvis
Los Angeles before America
The Library at Alexandria before the first flame in color
