Pink Skies
The pink skies protecting me from the dangers
The hot sun toasting me to a perfect brown
Making me feel safe,
I put on my shades, sit back, relax and think...
fall into deep thoughts about...
why elephants don't fly,
why fish live in the water,
why men are the "rulers"
why women give birth
why our bodies are full of cells,
How come the grass is green?
And the sun is yellow?
How come my life is the way it is
why does it have to seem so complicated,
and yet lived so easily.
Why does everything have to be well planned,
why we can't just go with the flow...
I take off my shades and picture with my eyes closed,
the pink skies and the bright sun,
I open my eyes and come back to reality
where the skies are grey and the sun doesn't shine.
Where the questions we ask aren't the ones about grass being green,
or fish living in the sea,
but about
war this
and fighting that,
sex being everywhere
and blood gushing from a movie seen.
Questions...
there are simple ones...
there are complicated ones...
there are answered ones ...
and there are wondering ones...
why can't the sky be pink and the sun shine forever?...
