Colour Gray — Lakshmi Rameshwar Rao

Lakshmi Rameshwar Rao, Hyderabad

Gray is the colour of rain – a line to constrain
In restraints sanity, wait for sane colour,
Red the town's paint – no lines’ restraint.
Sane, to prove,
Open records taint
Easy be helpless, helpless feel
But to feel alone, undone, faint
@what is 2b,
but that ain’t – It ain’t  2 B
Freedom Flag unfurls beyond the 60th year
Eyes are peeled and peering ears

In monies’ face wanting leer
None can see sea’s or high tide hear
Nor Catastrophic catastrophe hell behest.
Lest hell makes hell – mount in surmounting tests
Don black – colour those in quest
Abrogated sin with no inquest be blest.
White a shroud, salvation’s pure habit
Our Tricolour centring band
White Symbol no bubble,

In Peace Unite.
Proof of Rock (In honorarium, 2007)
Let us go then all of us,
As morning light glows in eastern sky,
Cleaning blood from psychiatric stables,
Winnowing in biblical fables,
Baptist’s prophecy, Of Jordan anointed Superstar ministry.

(The writer has a Masters in Adult Education from Jamia Milia Islamia. She has many years teaching experience at the school level as also ten years of experience in book publishing and some published writing in newspapers and more students’ books. Lakshmi has retired and lives in Hyderabad.)
