COLOURS

POEM

Colours vary like characters differ.

Ranging from white,

black, red, yellow, brown,

ash, saffron, blue, green  etc.

And the tastes vary like writers  differ.

If one likes white

other one prefers black.

Every one prefers 

a colour though he/she

wears variety of colours.

Exceptions are there

and they justify the truth.

Shedding all colours

certain persons walk

carefree in the northern states of India

and we call them sanyasins

who are mostly found on the shores of river Ganges

and are devotees of certain religions.

On watching them walking carefree

we the devotes feel ashamed of them.

And we are choosy

like choosing the preferred colour

but colours they like

which is prerogative of each person.

 Even the children are no exceptions.

Variety is the hallmark

of nations across the world like a sprawling garden

bearing variety of flowers

like nation with different ethnic groups.
