Colours

As a child I wanted ;

To just grow, into an adult .

So that I could see ;

Every colour of this world .

I dreamt ,

To create something mystical ;

Maybe, a world full of colours !

But as I grew up ;

I saw, something bizarre .

Though there were many colours ;

But the world ,

Was divided in only a few .

At first,  I thought ;

Maybe, this is not the case .

And this concept of colour ;

Is just new .

But, later on  I realized ;

That it was not actually so .

The stories I heard ;

Have now ,

Brought my spirits low .

In the name of colour ,

People being murdered, Tortured;

Their spirits butchered .

News about ,

Suppression and oppression ;

On basis of colour ;

Was now ,

Everywhere being featured .

Sometimes in friendly banters ;

Or, in teachings ,

Of their mentors ;

The seeds of it ,

Unintentionally were sown .

But, the ones ,

Who were at the,

Receiving end of this;

Are now forever gone .

But, still ,

When we speak about it ;

We are asked to stay silent .

For our dear ones ;

We, even agree to do so .

But does this stop ;

These episodes of violence ?

Whether it be ,

Homes,offices or place of worship ;

None are  actually ,

Safe from the roots of racism .

Silence and ignorance ;

Are a bliss for them .

If seen properly ;

An open invitation to them .

So speak up for them !

For, we are all ;

The creation of One .

We need to raise our voice ;

Until this demon ,

Is able to harm none .
