Decide what to do with my
Cracked Slate.
NIGHTMARES OF PASTEL
- Sai sevithaa
10 A
The parks we stroll, the fountains and stalls
Once lands of glass shards and broken
dolls
Songs we recited, fairytale rhymes
Born from misery, lost thanks to time
Those monuments, grand castles and halls
Have prejudice still etched in their walls
Oh, who, who indeed
Thought to build this glorious gard
Upon what once was a graveyard?
We color our sins in hues
Used to shade our victories
The pictures on the walls askew
Now that we've redrawn history.
Oh, these nightmares of pastel
Are painted by our own hands
Behind tapestries of angels
We have tucked away our demons.
