A miracle we have color
                        so vibrant, it’s so fair
            but when I look back
            at 1950 films
I can’t help to think
                                    “is this really real?”
we have green now
            purple and blue
red and pink
                        but back then its all hueless
boring and meek

was there really color?
            did everyone wear the same thing
were trees contained with black leaves
                        because if they were then why weren’t they green?
maybe someone had to invent colors
                                    they were just tired of
                        the same old thing
now of course we have vibrant
settings
                        except for in our phones
for when we edit
            then you see Black and White
and I think the same
            question all over again.
