Should
I tell my children not to wear a scarf? –
be
it chequered black or otherwise,
the
public seems to have stoppered its heart
and
some people have hate in their eyes.
Should
I tell my sons what to wear and when,
should
they for now strictly shun the hoodie?
The
governments link crime with clothes and skin
the
police and the public seem moody.
Should
my old father give up his upaveet,
and
my old friend stop wearing his skull cap?
The
powers see the world in black and white
and
paint in splotches of red on the map.
Painfully, frighteningly true.
