What I Plea!  Black or Blue

 Zero hunger, no poverty,  The saviour, warrior, protector,
 That is what I plea!  Puts my life above his,
 It’s the 21’st century,  Stands in crisp uniform,Toils in bliss.
 Have we lost all our humanity?
 Still talking about gender inequality.  The oppressed, shunned, cast-out,
        Hurts in the shadows,
 Good health and well- being is the need of the hour,  Watches his brothers fall,
 A world where even the poor can shower,  Filled with sorrow.
 Where quality education for all is the power,
 That is what I plea!  One protector defect,
        Commits a sin,Smites the cast-out,
 The world we know is running out of food and water,  Prejudice boils within.
 The coldest of places are getting hotter,
 We fight here for peace,  Cast-outs loathe protectors,
 But what about the ones who have to fight for a bread piece,  But the sinner doesn’t protect anymore,
 A world without all these nitty-gritties,  Protectors don’t all sin,
 That is what I plea!  But cast outs don’t see that anymore.

 Climate change prevalent in every nation,  Name tainted; legacy tarnished,
 Glorious biodiversity facing extinction,  They toil in agony,
 Lack of clean water and sanitation,   Justice served?
 But that is not the only controversy,  Cast-outs cast out, the irony.
 Do we blame the human procrastination or their hypocrisy?   Is the cast-out wrong?
        For being mistreated by the sinner?
        Is the protector wrong?
 Aanya Rastogi   For being kin of the sinner?

        I haven’t gotten a clue,

        Is it Black or Blue?
