Why Is?
A camel is beige
Like the sands of time
It must not stand out more so
Than the noblest of persons around it
An elephant is grey
Because it has the strength of stone
Standing as strong as a pillar
So to disguise its fragility
A lion is yellow
Like the rays of the sun
Burning bright as a beacon
Of hope to those who beg its pardon
A person can be many colours
to reflect on what they cast
which is why many are on the spectrum
as the rainbow’s prisms are vast ++
