Green
Green, the combination of yellow and blue
Green, the colour of inspiration and growth
Green, you indicate that things will bloom
But why my life is so full of doom
Though there is a love for every gardener with a green thumb
But i keep wondering where is that love of mine?
Cos the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence
But the fence is so high of the ground
I tried to climb it to the top but it a pity i keep falling like a mango tree
So with a critical eyes i look at the fence
Why do you have to be so difficult oh! I shout
I shake my fist and become so mad
Then i cross my arms and sit to pout
Never will i fail to give i said to myself
Never you judge a book by it cover
Cos i put on a broadest smiles
But have pillows filled with tears
Oh! You see me as the bravest
But am crippled by the fears
Though am filled with lonely people
But i never felt alone
Cos good things comes to those who wait, mama said
But why would God tempt me so much?
Cos i just want to see that rich
That glowing green grass
Wow! It a pity
Cos my own grass is black and dead
And the dirt underneath is showing
Every rose has a torn
Oh! The apple does not fall far from a tree
All this Grand ma kept saying
How long will i keep believing all this
For this are like a port hole of water
No sense in beating a horse to death
For the grass is always greener on the other side
They all said
They say it so soft to make a bread
With a soft smile on my face i raise my head
Cos in my head lies vision of the other grass
So i tried to jump the fence
But already at sunset
Will i have to wait for the morning
I thought with a frown
Then i gather my courage and ran like a mad hen at the tall of the fence
Oh! I fell down and hit my head
The cut was so deep
Wow! Unstoppable blood start glushing out
But despite this i never care
I stand at the entrance of the fence
Could you just open and let me in?
As all my lane became patchy and worn
Through each and every season
Oh! This brings wears and tears from my eyes Though they said, there are plenty fish in the sea
But now, i am dead as a doornail
Cos if only walls could talk, my face was quite red
Then i look at the fence and ponder
If only i have given it a sprinkle of love and affection
Maybe it may not have worn with rejection
So with a force i bush the entrance fence
Enter and watered my black dying grass
Then i laid back and watch the sky
For my old lawn to get tendered
And waiting for a new tomorrow
