Lament of Colours (Achievement #52 = 8 points)

Pink pouted, "Why do little boys not play with me?

I am bright and charming; fun, lively and pretty."

"Must be the same reason, why I will never know,

I am meant only for boys, not girls," blubbered blue.

"Unlike me," bellowed black, "You're picked for happiness,

Despite showing the stars I am meant for darkness."

Whispered white, "Better that than perfection believed,

From knowledge and joy to sorrow and death perceived."

"I do not have much cause to complain," yelled yellow,

"I paint the sun, daffodils and autumn mellow."

"You do have it great, I have to admit," grumbled green,

"I bring harmony and spring yet envy I mean?"

"So many questions and complaints, " Purple did ponder,

"Why such dissatisfaction, I often wonder! "

"We are colours of contradiction," Red replied,

From passionate rage to fiery romance, I stride"

It is quite true, the colours with their hues and shades,

The symbolic meanings change, while their glow fades.
