Revenge from Yellow

Warm like summer

bright

startling

it makes me uncertain

unsafe and exposed

I hate summer

too much heat

too much sweat

queasy yellow

who came up with it?

such a perky color

I hate perky

yellow is evil

if God likes yellow

he would have made the sun blue

and the sky yellow

sunflower yellow

gay smiling flowers

chasing the yellow sun

bananas are yellow

an excuse for a fruit

full of starchy starch

like eating pounded rice

with sugar

urine is yellow

makes me nauseous

even angry

reminds of diseases

cowardice

but yellow is so fresh

they say

don't you know

I am only happy when I am depressed?

I am only happy at night

when the prancing sun is away

and the moon is out?

yellow makes people happy

gives them confidence

gives them warmth

God I hate yellow!
