Colours
Please note, British spelling is retained.
I am lost
in this vast village
where no one
knows anyone.
Where differences
both good and evil
are erased
and monotony celebrated.
There are no
more distinct colours,
they all
have been blended
To produce
sickening shades of greys.
Where has
the rainbow gone?
The melting pot
is old and cracked and
the fire
dances in staccato.
We are
Frankenstein.
We hack, carve
out different colours
To adorn
ourselves with it,
to cover
our own true colour.
And when we
no longer remember
our true colours,
Uniqueness dives into the pot.
Falling into the melting pot,
Boiling with the brew of humankind,
Where the colours,
Sizzles, pops and burst with pungent
Smells
Of acrid smokes,
Like an art room’s lingering smell of sweat.
Lost in a maelstrom,
Losing our colours,
Becoming
No one.
