Chameleon Poem by Richard Jarboe

Oh, Chameleon,
When will you change color?
When will you turn from green into red?
All the rest that's been said,
Chameleon,
When will you change?

Lizard, how come I can't see you,
Did you just change color for me?
I can't tell, I can't see,
Chameleon,
When will you change?

Secret,
When will you change color?
Rise from black and go into the light,
Tell us the truth; do what's right,
Chameleon,
When will you change?

Oh, Chameleon,
When will you change color?
Do you remember what you said,
To the army you led now on the list of the dead?
Chameleon,
When will you change?
