Neda- I am green - where is my vote?
Video and art by Monica, poem by Deborah Anne Prevatte-Allen ¸¸.¸.☆¨¯`♥ P O E M♥´ ¸¸.☆¨¯`♥ I am green. There was nothing particularly remarkable about me. My color is not the first to be thought of when most think of a favorite or memorable color. And yet that was my past as I have been given a future. A future more spectacular than red with its fiery unforgettable reputation. Yes I was once a simple color nothing very special if youd asked me but now I am a symbol of something wonderful. Oh dont get me wrong I mean oh so many things in spring I brought to life. The delicate tendrils that would form climbing homes for heady fragrant blossoms. A dark still place for jasmine to bloom and seduce forbidden lovers in my garden. I am sturdy and strong reaching for the sky green stalks with sunflower faces, filling field after field. I have been humble in simple blades unnoticed trampled underfoot. I even in my subtlety have a fresh and clean scent after the dark skies and rains have beaten me down. Yes I am tender and sometimes yielding but I always find the sun because it was meant to shine on me. I want that children would freely play upon me, that the young couples might sit together and just talk or have a picnic on my emerald green lushness. How nice it would be to watch two young people just fall in love; without hiding as I have such open spaces talk of world events, paint, play music ...all without fear. But now I am feel bodies falling in pain and terror on me. Punishment for criticizing the dictator and regime that keeps simple hopes and dreams on hold. Yet still they come and hope and dream for no man can take that away and their Colorless green ideas that sleep furiously. For he fears their fundamental rights, and continues to steal their future and humanity piece by piece. Until their ideas come to fruition and like the blade of grass that has been bent after a mighty storm the youth spring to life. They are like me with tendrils that shall grow strong and spread their words as they demand their rights to be treated fairly, equally, without fear of an unstable ruler. Colorless green ideas I am no more for I am green. bright ... youthful.. full of life! You wear with pride and I am no longer a color I am a movement filled with hope! I stand for change, human rights, dignity, fairness and peace. I am green and I will stand face to face with tyranny and those who have no morality or compassion for other human beings. I am green and I stand for solidarity and I am proud. I am green and just like me the youth shall renew all again as their place is in the sun standing side by side knowing they like me may in the past have gone unnoticed but now you are sturdy and strong and need only reach for the sky because the world is watching and we are green too. `~ You can cover the whole world in asphalt., but sooner or later green grass would break through ~~ llya Ehrenburg Poem by Deborah Anne Prevatte-Allen ¸.¸.☆¨¯`♥´ ¸¸.☆¨¯`♥´ ¸¸.☆¨¯`♥ Music: Buddha bar, Melih Kibar
