Achromatic Law

Achromatic Law

Why is light good, and dark bad? The systematic flaws of our achromatic law. It comes from when we were young, In the Disney movies the bright lights lead to songs, and the darker colors are imprinted in our heads as wrong. We are characterized as strong and weak. Our bones are brittle and meek, shadowed by the unlawful rules of the generation that came before us. Dark is bad, and light is good. But what if light mean’t bad, and dark mean’t good? Light was the significance of evil in your presence, the ticking clock to your demise. Light was tied to the idea of hurtful actions and lies. When the light inside you’ve been trying to hide away, is brought up to justice, and in the dark you start to shine. The fact you have so much light in you you shine sends the hopeless overflow of your soul, in overdrive. The dark you have inside, the beautiful strong sense of yourself, the idea of your life, being in the dark, sending you down the bend of the earth, with the lens of your self worth seeing how the world is forced, by the patriarchal idea, to perfect being the darkness in the light. The ignorant believe the light within is his way to impinge on this newly saturated reality. This metaphor has now been flipped. The idea of the achromatic law, having been set in place from past generations to now, is a stand still point of our evolving brains. We reanimated this reality. We calibrated a new dystopian, one that has been ripped open, and stripped to the bone. Why is dark bad and light good in every script of every show, the movies and the plays? Who made the decision, who had the say in why the world conveys the two in the layout of the land? The light has been encouraged and pushed toward a positive life,

while the dark are the ones who have been the most cooperative, don’t have power to refute the claims that have been laid upon them. As time changed, powerful people have come and gone, from Aretha Franklin, to James Baldwin, the hope of Martin Luther King Jr, and his words to inspire, caused many young people of color to inquire about a better world. The light has generated in the depths of the deaths of so many powerful women and men, and then they’re assessed with the power of human judgements. This atrocity isn’t enough to change society’s mind. The pieties of this idea, apparently preposterous. The idea of equal rights for all, boisterous the intolerant people become. Even the thought of equality caused a concomitant of hatred. People of color have had to disguise, to hide and be ashamed of their skin, because of the anger that’s been aimed at them. Their tongues inflamed, and their hands enchained to the raised bars of mediocrity of this and generations to come. Keeping their mouths shut, of the beautiful culture and power they contain in their heart and mind. Keeping their hands from expressing their cultures in ways they’ve learned how, and away from being able to safely rupture from the judgment, and find their individuality.

Eyebrows raise with the idea of pushing the people of color away, when stating an oath, that the only thing they do is save and protect. But instead they neglect. When a girl steps forward, strong in her faith, with culture flowing through her veins and decides to speak out at the disarray. There are few that listen to her, though those who do, tend to stand tall, in their obsolete thoughts. Though motionless most stay, being at a loss for words, as their heart has been pushed into a coarse new force propelling them to stay quiet. Violence and incomplete obsolete decisions occur by many intolerant people, who see no more than the color of someone’s skin. instead of taking in what is truly someone in pain and full of suffering. Based on what coloring they received. When the white folk slowly discover the utter lack of culture that they see. They realize they’ve been delirious, and that’s what we dream. We, the people of color, only wish for more intolerant people to redeem themselves. I don’t expect an extreme change in the course of the couple minutes of this poem. But I hope this exhibits some words or something you’ll remember you saw For it’s time this world gives up on the unspoken, achromatic law.
