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
