Colours



Colours?

Black, or, White:
Colours,
Michael Jackson,
Coffee.

Distinct -
Not a hint,
Of commonality,
In the realm of rationality!

Black and White:
Keys - on a key board,
Ministrels – on stage,
Squares - on a chestboard.

Together -
In synchrony;
One cannot be,
Without - the other!

Black plus White:
Grey,
Holy matrimony,
Creamed coffee.

Two, become one –
And, as, they merge -
A new creation:
Does emerge!
