Green Is .........

my heart center on fire
burns the leaves green

roots
grass this is the complexion of my will
stances me still

Green is the flavor of my verbal weaponry
range on point

Justice is the Green eyes of Truth
blinking me
past

Green lights flash me go
when I heed Stop
is the Green mutating arrangements
melody
cadence
is
Green, life support
fluid runs through red veins
came from Green Earth

is the past I invoke
I came from present
toils
boils over

Green is the crime never testified
church choir repents in courtroom
battle

Green is the death sentence I
commit
petty
Green crimes, inhale greenery; exhale Green phloem
sneeze me back to Green Grass
grows

me Green,
complexion underneath
Reptilian R-Complex
are the shades of Green we don't see

Green is my heart center burns
Green creates hues
illuminates my dreams to sleep

Underworld, Magician or Musician
creates livid Green Precision

is the craft I hone
Green is the spot
I know

Home

Green is the center of my Heart Pulsates
Green spectrum
is the weapon
I Instill
you Green
is the eye
I see
Green is the Pyramidal Structure Beneath
shades of grass
Green gravitational pulls
me Greener
or lime complexion
yet to meet my completion
is Green
blazes me underneath the leaves
burns their skin
just the right shade of Green
