Blue Poem by Kevin Patrick II

Send it to a Gulag at the bottom of the world
Then throw it into the dustbin of history
Let it rot stinking in some high security vault
Abandoned behind steel eating its own misery
Don't yield or concede with compassion or remorse
Exterminate it, gleefully with blitzkrieg force


Burn down every shade from the colour wheel
Wipe out all the hues, tincture and pigmentation
Don't let one particle escape into your iris
Subject it to the gallows and spectrum castration
Give it to the Greeks they can make it Pandoras friend
Sealed inside a box where it can scream all its portends



It should be banned from every décor in every house I want to claw it out from all the wallpapers and drapes
Get on my knees and rip every thread from the carpet
Paint it out from chairs, couches, tables and Landscapes
I would take a flamethrower and scorch it from every painting
or a battering ram and destroy every surface its Staining


I would purge it from the sky and paint it purple noon
Wash it from the oceans and make them emerald wonders
Turn lapis lazuli to lime and give sapphires an onyx shine
arrest it from existence until its memory is sundered
Its the vilest colour that fills my head with doom
The albatross that hangs me with constant gloom



Blue is the most savage colour in the world
It drips with malice and lacerates the soul
Blue wears me down like a boxer in the ring
Hitting me hard when I'm losing all control
Its the primary colour that infects my mind
Id cut it from my eye if happiness made me Blind
