TRIBAL COLOURS

You are in your tribe
 and I am in my tribe.
The tribes don't overlap.
There was a tribe called
Mankind - only he wasn't.
So you are in your tribe
I am in my tribe - frenemies.
Or sometimes downright
enemies. We fight, we rape
We kill each other because
she or he is not in our tribe.

Your tribe could be just a
football team but yours 
is red and my tribe is blue.
If you mix red and blue
together, you get purple.
Let's all join the purple tribe!
But your tribe is black,
While my tribe is white

I cry for the lost tribe of
Mankind, for the purple tribe,
For the tribes stay apart
You are in the rich and greedy tribe, while I live in the poor tribe. You are in the French tribe - I am in the English one. 

You are in the South tribe
I am with the North tribe.
You are in the countryside 
tribe, I am in the town tribe.
You are in the Greenacres 
tribe, only across the road
and I am in the Littlemoor
one - how can this be?
So close and yet so tribal.

You are in the masculine 
tribe, while as a woman I
am in the feminine tribe
You are in the ablist tribe
I am in the disabled tribe
Why can't we all return to
the huge tribe of Mankind
the colour Purple tribe.

Our planet's weather gets
worse, due to climate change.
Floods, famine, due to crop
failures in extended drought conditions.

We all need to be in the
same tribe to fight for
our Mother Earth, for Gaia.
So let's join the Purple Tribe
let's pull together in the
Mankind Tribe and make
sure man s kind once again.
Choose to be kind to others.
We are here to help others,
regardless of tribal colours.

We can be the power of the 
Purple and Mankind Tribe
We could choose the True
Colours Tribe. What do you 
think? What do you feel?
I am in the Mankind tribe
and so are you. I am in the
Purple Tribe, The True Colours Tribe and you could be too. I am in the Save Our Planet Tribe and will you be there too?
