The Color
Once there was a man who was fan of color pink
So he wore his color on his way to the gym
But on his way a crowd had come to mock him
Wearing pink they said is a gayish thing
They taunted the man who was walking so docile
Like he committed the gravest of crimes
They perpetually casted stones to defame
Without even knowing his true name
They followed the man on his way to his home
They peeked at his window and peeped at his door
Like everything he does was their own problem
Without even knowing his true name
Then broadly roamed a deafening news of defame
Like dust particles casted through the wind
Everyone came to think that the man was a freak
Without even knowing his true name
But the man turned a deaf to the narrow-minded
He wore proudly his color to the gym once again
One day when he passed by, such a crowd was in daze
He was wearing a belt of champions in the ring
Does wearing pink really mean being gay?
What could be wrong with being gay anyway?
If you laughed at a guy wearing pink for he's gay
Would you laugh at a gay wearing black or gray?
Does this world really is as narrow as some minds?
Do people not have the freedom to decide?
Does wearing your color really is a crime
Like raising your voice to the things you desire?
To those who judge like they're perfect persons
Make sure you know well the one you are judging
Time is precious to waste on such trivial reason
Better yet use your time to solve your own problem
Men should not be judged because of their color
For color is nothing but superficial
Use wisely your judgment and your prudent reason
For nothing comes right from discrimination
