Colors Say…..

This is in response to THURSDAY POETRY COMPETITION by H.R.PHOENIX and the topic for this week is COLORS.

Being always rebellious in my way 
Questioning every single day 
Why blue for boys 
and pink for girls 
Even colors will argue 
Why gender-specific? 

Whiter your skin tone 
Goes around the world 
More acceptable you become 
Why discriminate
We all are humans 
With red blood I guess

Don't wear black 
Don't wear white 
Unauspicious they proclaim 
But who defines 
The universe we live in 
itself black and white 

So many colors exist 
Beautify our world 
Red, blue, green 
Yellow and orange 
Singing their own melody 
Nature cherish all

Close your eyes 
Absence of light 
Can you feel the pain 
of one who can't see 
Not even realizing 
what dark looks like 

Life or death
Light or dark 
Day or night 
Presence or absence 
Hope or grief 
All colors flash 

Different colors 
Different emotions 
Shades of life 
It contains 
Making it more alive.
