Let's Play With The Genuine Colous! Poem by Namita Rani Panda

If you wish to play with me the festival of colours
O' my loving children give me back my original colours!
My sun, moon and stars choke with suffocation,
please make my empyrean free from pollution
and turn it into blue from grey depression.
Throw away the colours of hatred and vengeance,
don't drench me with blood red colour of violence,
throw away the colours of greed and hatred
and turn my floor to a green carpet.
Give me back the colour of nature
if you want peace, the greatest healer and protector,
make my ocean free from chemical waste, oil slick so dirty
Give it back the colour of depth, stability and tranquillity
Smear me with the purple hue of nobility
To enable me to live a life of dignity!
Let's pledge to be sincere to one another!
And play Holi with the genuine colours!
