Poem: A Sheer Canvas

Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
But, Red is in Blood
Blue is in Sorrow too
O’ painter, show me more colours

Sunflowers are Yellow
Leaves are Green
But, Yellow is in Dirt
Green is in Greed too
O’ painter, show me more colours

Lilies are White
Roses are Black
But, White is in Tinge
Black is In Tragedies too
O’ painter, show me no more colours

O’ painter, I choose to be lucid as Water

Unbiased as the Sky and Crystalline as Glass
Paint on me no stained, racial Matter
Let me be honest, and label me,
“A Sheer Canvas”.
