Random Shades of Basic Colors
Silence is white
and ruing is black
then what is ruing silence......guess some shade of grey or slate
I was grey..ruing silence kind
in deep grief..which was blue
I had irritation and peeved full, which is red
peeved grief is ,then,I guess brinjal purple or some shade
grey and purple me was angry, moreover
as angry as white
I had stabbing instincts like a dark black villain
I was back to some shade of grey or slate
I was throbbing and blinking colors
the grey matter conjured all that up
guess it is a color that helps us prod on
from one state to another
life is a lie and life is a truth
all is relative and nothing absolute
it is all random
and on a number line
that runs both sides
so infinite
a random that is yet defined
for you can see the number line
but not come to its ends
our each mental state is a number on such line
unique and well defined
and nothing but
just a shade
of basic colors
that grey matter harbors.
