WHY ARE YOU BLIND TO THE BLACKS?

Why the living blacks are looked down upon?

while the fossils underground

that have given you wealth abound

and are adorable all around

When the river's black silt floods either banks

when crops flourish and brings you rank

do you ever say its nature's prank ?

when cuckoo's sweet note

brings down spring

on a few sips of black dog

your soul do swing

can you ever think

those blacks you can fling?

Can you forget the tune

that sails across your heart?

those black magical reeds that brew up the melody

befriend your soul and become its treasured part?

when you can't put so many blacks apart

then why the living blacks

upon whose shoulders you have made your base

why shove them aside

why don't you value their pride and grace?

why are they still an unheeded race?

GLORY WRAPPED IN BLACK

 

 The glory wrapped in black

The black clinched fists

dancing on the ring

sometimes with an upper cut

sometimes with a pouncing jab

the triumphant song they leap and sing

 

The panthers on the track

the juggling legs with a ball

the lightening strokes from tennis bat

you utter a name he is black

  

when their shackled hands

remind them their forlorn past

seeing their mom's torn trampled gown

their choked eyes burst

they muster their rage and cloak inside

blast all these arenas with blazing pride

WHERE IS THE HARM ! !

   

Where is the harm

not being a white !

what if the gem in me

through dark pitch night

you behold glowing bright !

Isn't that enough

the stream in you and mine

will forever be red and only red

isn't that enough both you and me

will be mingled up with the same soil

and our eternal bed to be laid up in heaven

the day we'll be lying dead

   

Then where is the harm

not being a white !

why perspire so much day and night !

is that only prevailing on a colour

drying up our common treasury

with your brothers you are set to fight ! !
