To any, and to all, who receives this,

You should look at the colors,

Whether you identify as a man a woman, a king a peasant, even a slave,

Whether you have no identity or you struggle to find one

You, should give thanks.

When the world succeeds, in destroying you

when society, friends, family,

when they leave you to die, alone in the dark

You, should look at the colors, and give thanks.

Just look at a rainbow

the light, which was created thousands and thousands of years ago

is ripped apart, the atoms, trillions of them,

they dance with elegance and with much excitement

creating the prismatic effect, to give YOU those colors.

The fact that you can see this, makes you very very VERY unique.

Look at the colors,

The ones we stole from nature

and apply onto our skin when identifying ourselves

and into our material things, when attracting a mate,

The ones we stole from nature and applied onto our flags ,

the flags that bring us together and separate us,

the flags under which many have gone to war

and countless have perished ,

All of this just, so YOU can be here.

So look at the colors,

if only for a brief moment, and give thanks

Before you return to eternal darkness.
