Splorange


I am certain there is a shade splorange
A color of no substance that may exist
An object of my own design which rhymes with orange

Which may or may not be, yet the idea persists
I travel the world and I see it fears things of grey
It only cares for what is here and what lets it reminisce

This world makes those who challenge it; its prey
Instead of understanding it will answer with a pow
The mind of this world wishes only to see me pay

If this blasphemy is fond the world would wish to see it now
But it is here only through thoughts and my verse
All that can be said of this situation is wow

Life to my word will not come for it being seen as perverse 
This world cannot say how I feel or think: it does not hold my way
Yet some parts may agree with me, for this world’s mind is diverse

This color is my world, my own design, and it is here to stay
This is my reality, my own reside; this is my way
