Why Like This? Poem by Somanathan Iyer

Why Like This?



Never the breeze asked
are you black or white
never the fragrance asked
are you rich or poor
never the flavor asked
are you handsome or not
all the above enthuse everyone
minding never barriers among
only humans with destructive
sixth sense created the wedge
through color creed and status
