Colorful Words
What if spoken words appeared in color -
Whenever we open our mouths?
Colorful letters would fly before us
Letters resembling miniature butterflies
Flying everywhere before evaporating
Into the air like popping air bubbles
But, ... should lies, injustices or swears be uttered
Only gray and black bubbles would fly about
And the speaker, instantly embarrassed,
Would immediately change his speech -
So, colorful butterflies could reappear
To recapture the beauty of color
