Boy George, in Culture Club’s wonderful song Karma Chameleon, sang of having dreams in ‘red, gold and green’. These days my dreams of freedom and peace are set to colour scheme of yellow and blue.
Slava Ukraini!
Dream colours The colour of hopes and dreams Writ large as big sky thinking over a wide ocean ; offering protection. An open embrace that hold in place A call to keep alliances strong And make right all the wrongs. The colour of brave stoicism And of optimism That turns to face the tide Knowing we can stop it if we try There could be peace in our time If we can hold the line. Standing with conviction Standing up to oppression. Following the blue and yellow Into a victorious tomorrow.
