          How would you feel if your   
       crayons were all ONE colour?

      Eventually, you'll get BORED,

                                                 your interest starts to FADE,
                                                    finally quitting to SHADE.

         
                                                    Same is with PEOPLE,
                                                      no one is the SAME,
                                                        if that were TRUE, 
                                          the world would be totally LAME.


                                          People often JUDGE each other,

                                     by their COLOUR, SIZE, or CLOTHES,

                              misconceptions starting from ONE person,

                                                    spreading in ROWS.


                        The misconception finally spreads to EVERY person, 

                                filling their minds with NEGATIVE thoughts,

                                     and whenever they SEE those people, 

                                            they decide to LEAVE them out.


                                    Are we HUMANS or are we MONKEYS,

                                            taking thoughts for GRANTED,

                                                         not even CARING,

                                    whether they are CRUEL or FRANTIC.


                                             The world is so DIVERSE,

                                     filled with all types of COLOURS,

                             could you IMAGINE what it would be like,

                                       if everything was ONE colour?
