The Colours of 2016


Red is for the blood of our brothers and sisters spilt

Orange is for the heightened awareness of global warming

Yellow is for the joy felt when our rights were awarded to us

Green is for growth of knowledge society 

Blue is for the sense of loss our nation had throughout each change

Indigo is for darkening of fear in Novemeber 

Violet is for the light shining through at the end of the day.
