Let's Riot with Colors

I seriously think
we should develop
a bomb of crayons
as our next weapon-
of mass ‘construction’.

A color bomb,
a beauty bomb.
Launched from -
- a happiness jet
-or a unity tank.
as a peace missile.
And every time
a crisis developed,
we would drop one.
It would explode
high in the air
- explode softly
- and send hundreds
or thousands,
even millions,
of little parachutes
of colors, colors, colors

Floating down to earth
with splashes of colors
rioting into the air.
And we wouldn’t go cheap,
- not little boxes of eight.
Boxes of sixty-four,
maybe hundreds
with the sharpener built-in.
With silver and gold and copper,
magenta and peach and lime,
amber and umber and all the rest.

And cover the world with
colors and imagination.
And people would smile,
laugh, giggle and go hysterical.
Get funny look on their faces
twinkle in their tearful eyes.
Hope embedded in their dimples,
Peace sparkling from their teeth
And all one could have
Is hope and happiness.
As far as eyes could see.

With musical instruments
of peace and unity
playing in the background,
the music borne of them,
rocking in ecstasy and
dancing with the colors,
Until the dawn of ‘sanity’
Awakens this asinine,
‘sleeping’ mankind.
