Shades!

Innumerable set of colors

Red, Blue, Yellow, Pink, Black, Brown, White….

Each complementing one another to form a new color, a new beginning…

Then why do we divide the black from white?

Hither and thither,
helter skeleter,
far and near,
thereover, hereunder,

We all are searching for colors

One may be the color of riches

Other the color of dumper ditches

One color is a souvenir

What is the other color?

Does color really speak?

Yes! In today’s world they do.

Whites are monarchs

Blacks are slaves

How do we get the shade of Grey then?

I thought about the destructions

Caused due to the two colors

Caste, creed, race and religion

Get defined by these two colors

When will we learn to say “It doesn’t matter which color the skin is”?

When we escape these bodies,
and bang the heaven's gate,
then we can say no color,

We all be same and undistinguished

We will have nothing to debate

So start practicing now

Enjoy the difference of colors

And until that day in glory
when we are truly one,
let's love ourselves
in all colors,

In all layers and shades!
