What Colour

Whatever was I thinking, I dutifully fell in line
My whiteness overtook me, thinking white all the time
But the angels in my City, are brown and black and white
White European in my mind, all a standard height
White wings, pale skin, all the eyes are blue
Supernatural beings, but it isn’t only you
The angels in my city are Bollywood, punk, rough sleepers
Watching the pathways in and out, they truly are gate keepers
So if you are white with wings, take your place in line
My City is multi coloured, in variety it will shine
It’s time to live again
