The Green people grow green grass and buy green things with the green they grow. The Red people rake red rocks and build red things with the red they rake. The Blue people blow blue bows and build blue things with the blue they blow.
Everyday they leave their places. Each one walks 100 paces. No one dares to cross their colors. Never talk, just smile to others.
Every day the Green ones eat at Green food stores on green food plates and drink green drink in green drink glasses. Red ones eat at Red food stores on red food plates and drink red drink in red drink glasses. Blue ones eat at Blue food stores on blue food plates and drink blue drink in blue drink glasses.
The Green ones smile at Red ones. Red ones smile at Blue ones and the Blue ones smile at Green ones. But no one ever speaks.
Everyday they leave their places. Each one walks 100 paces. No one dares to cross their colors. Never talk, just smile to others.
The Green ones go to green grass growers, Red ones ride to red rock rakers, Blue ones bus to blue bow blowers. Green grass growers work beside the Red rock rakers right beside the Blue bow blowers. But no one ever speaks.
When time is up they leave in boxes, Green and Red and small Blue boxes. Pulled by people of their color: mother, father, sister, brother.
The Green can’t show the grass they grew, the Red don’t take the rocks they raked, the blue won’t know the bows that blow. They never take them down below.
Everyday they leave their places. Each one walks 100 paces. No one dares to cross their colors. Never talk, just smile to others.
Its funny how these people go; they live, they work—walk to and fro. They only smile to other colors, sworn to never make a sound. But they all turn a shade of Brown, just lying there beneath the ground.
