My Red Is So Confident
That he flashes trophies of war and ribbons of euphoria
Orange is young, full of daring,
But very unsteady for the first go round
My yellow in this case is not so mellow
In fact I’m trying to say it’s frightened like me
And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from, eh,
Giving my life to a rainbow like you
But, I’m, yeah, I’m bold as love
If you spend awhile with the art of Al Loving you will find those confident reds, full of daring oranges and more. Bold as Loving you might say - just ask the axis. Loving was a black man who choose his own road. Instead of caving into the pressures of the day on young black artists - painting images of the Black experience and figurative art - Mr. Loving made his way into the abstract art world.
My yellow in this case is not so mellow in fact I’m trying to say its like Canada and Spain. Or something like that. Sheesh, all the turns, puns and phras-e-ology can’t be good - you’ve got to expect that once in awhile. Do we expect to see a new exodus to Canada now? Do you say “Good RiddAnce!!”? because your “frightened like me”? Or just because your god, preacher, parents, president, senator, kindegarten teacher or some other authority figure told you to say such and you never once thought about it or weighed it in your own mind and decided for your self? All of these emotions of mine keep holding me from, hmmmm, from what exactly do your fears and emotions hold you from accomplishing? Maybe we should have stuck with stoplights, eh what?
While you’re chewing on that consider chewing a bit at this altitude. Hopefully they didn’t drop any cutlery and that they aren’t drinking and driving after the meal. Look Out Below!!!
