Revolution

Posted on by Reena Saxena 
a splash of colour 
amongst neutral whites

hear the whites speak
protest
complain
criticise
against the invasion of colour
it does not blend
with their mindset
with their culture
-anything that’s different
is attacked by
belligerent vultures

the different colour
is individualistic
not always a rebel
but is labelled
a criminal
-for not agreeing
not blending in
with fossilized mindsets

there are only two options
fade into the background
with neutral whites
or
Start a revolution

  3. I think revolutions are happening, but they are quieter than in the past. Maybe peaceful interactions are taking place, allowing voices to be heard.
