Holi

HOLI

How can I color you
Color you with the hatred 
Hatred that humanity holds 

How can I color you 
Color you with the sorrow
Sorrow that the world is bestowed with

How can I color you
Color you with the pollution
Pollution that our earth sinks in today

How can I color you 
Color you with the hunger and poverty 
Hunger and poverty with which our people are dying 

How can I color you
Color you with the disparity
Disparity of wealth, race and gender we hold 

How can I color you 
Color you with the neglect
Neglect that we commit on each other 

How can I color you 
Color you with the shame
Shame that I carry within me

How can I color you
How can I color you!
