It would be nice

If it were easy for someone to pass by

Without judging.

Without placing ourselves in the boxes,

The patterns pre-established

By the monochromatic society,

In which the rainbow,

With all its colours and brightness, is obfuscated,

Is contained by the smoke

By the pollution from prejudice, from discrimination.

 

Just as CFCs, CO2, methane

Corrode the ozone layer

That protects all terrestrial life

And all its diversity,

Prejudice, racism, evil phobias

Destroy all colours,

Colourful lives and human diversity;

Then survives the monochrome.

 

Live!

Feel!

Shine!

Shout all the forms of love,

All forms of colour!
