Always in rise
The butterfly mother contemplates on colours
She has seen human children pinning butterflies on sky boards
She has seen how hope has been darkened in the name of education
She has seen how ‘the Inquisition’ sought to implant beliefs
A highly inquisitive mind
That she is
She has been a larrikin
Since the day she came
Out of her cocoon
Yet, she is a congenial person
As she has learnt how bitterness
Can be turned into buoyancy of colours
She teaches her larvae to be chancy
But not champing at the bit
and she cautions her butterfly kids
Against the chameleons
Lest, the butterflies lose faith
on the truth of their own colours
In this machine driven technocrat world
If you are wearied and worried about cyber punks
offer your libation to her
She will show you how to live your true colours
by staying grounded in your flight
And we will get the real taste of colours
