If reality is black and white then let me dream in colour dream for better dream for more
In my minds eye, i prophecise Afro-haired princes - Our kingdom
seeds that sprout roots deep and stems high Before fruits picked from our gardens
To be cleansed in water clear behind picket fences pure
Make them clean he says
Make them clean
Make them clean
Leaving behind ivy leaves to run riot through my city
Weaving between the decrepit bricks, layered cobblestones, thick
stems hold him by the neck
each council flat a mobile home
At the mercy of the wind
Our plant has been uprooted, our plant has been corrupted
Twisted, sick, Dying
The poison whispers sweet lies coaxing me to sleep
To rest in ignorance
Rest my sweet
Rest in
Pieces of the dead leaf crumble at the princes feat
Stripped of his crown and emerald seat
He watches his kingdom fall
Cracked, broken
defeated
Unknowing of his feat
The leafs cease to be
break at his mercy
Unknowing of his responsibility
Unknowing of his roots
Plucked from him
were once fruits where this baron land lays
Once vibrant palates where now lies decay
The cause? old consequences, delayed
Reverberating through decades, centuries
Running rings around this old tree, my roots ancient but these leaves still breathe
You should know where to find me
Buried beneath history hidden
Because the world is cracked and white
And the boy dreams as such
Because the world is cracked and white
And the prince is misinformed
Because Miss informed him of history clear
Like water
Filtered
Tailored to taste
There is only black and white and we misfitted hues between
As bored as the grey grey walls of his schools canteen
Unknowing of what is rightfully his
If reality is black and white then let him dream in colour
dream for better
Let him dream for more
Wring
Destroy
Sway suspension
Build (shaking)
Destroy
Power (steady)
