Variations
Senita beryl Apr 2020
When there are different colors in a rainbow
You accept it with a bow,
When the same colour is on someone's face,
Why call them a different race?
Everyone's colour of blood is red
Then why discrimination is fed?
Why do you teach your children besides
That some of their friends must be cast aside?
Everyone is created by God's law
Without a flaw.
Then why should you be an outcast
Because of your caste?
We are all humans
So let's be humane

We will overcome
Senita beryl Apr 2020
As it has been told,
China has got cold
And has made the whole world sneeze
Thus making everything around me freeze
Is this too one of God's play?
Was what I heard people say
Each and every day
One or the other becomes a prey
We cannot give a hand
As it is the only way to withstand
But let us be beacons of light
At this hour where everything has gone out of sight
And the time has come
For us to sing 'we will overcome'

Delivery pains
Senita beryl Apr 2020
People don't even smile,
And it hurts for a while
They say it with a command 'keep it there'
But we don't think it's fair
Sometimes we land up in a wrong place,
Because of which we can't maintain the pace
We at times take the steps,
When we don't even have a bit of pep
While some take a jolly ride,
It is written on our heads that we must stride
And we are looking forward to the day,
When our pains will go away.
This poem addresses the struggles of delivery men. I got inspired to write this poem after watching a video by Doctor Ashwin vijay in which he addressed their struggles.
