Mess

entry picture

North and South decided to meet 

After decades long, bitter conflict,

Diversity in culture captured the streets,

Although a few condescending ones 

Had irrational reasons to contradict. 

 

All was fun and the sun shun bright 

Above the ones who had once 

Put up an ugly fight. 

 

The city was sparkling in the daytime,

And even more so in the nights,

There was procured peace 

After a very long time they said;

Racism was completely dead,

And acceptance came with ease

Until the renegades rose to tease;

The colours - black and white 

Were separated in carrom and chess

And that resurfaced the great mess.
