Let me tell you that green is the colour of blue plus yellow. Blue being the men of the land, yellow being visitors who come and remain in the land and yearn to become part of the land but still wanting to retain their yellowness. The blue men do not want the yellow men to stay for long, and the blue men impose directives and oppress the yellow for wants of their land rights, and the yellow men know and realise and accept this oppression and injustice because their gratefulness remains above all, for the land is kind to them, more kind than the mother land ever was. Green is the colour of the children of blue and yellow, yellow’s children and blue’s children, striving to surviving in harmony but unable to overcome the historical remnants that have made them who they are. Green is the colour of peace, of love, of harmony, green is more beautiful than blue, than yellow, but green finds it hard to exist.
