There is infinite magic in color.
A magic once so profound,
those who did not have it -
were riddled with fear,
from those who did.
So what did the people
without color decide ?
All color, all this profound new magic
need not be celebrated or explored
but instead needed to be :
oppressed,
feared,
enslaved and
punished.
All designed by : IGNORANCE.
Until decades went by and one day,
color raised its voice, and said "No More."

"We are beautiful webs of melanin magic.
Join us in space where our mother made us,
or leave us in peace where our father protects us.
We have always had the choice to leave you,
Though we are loyal to the core.
We had hoped you'd come to this realization
But for now, we say No more."
