Peace in pieces

• 

The bell chimed
Entire class submerged in silence
Hearing the footsteps of the “Ethics teacher”
She who hated the tall, dark, thin me
Yes,
she knows precisely what I don’t know/have
And asks me the same
To make me stand out
At a point,
She started detesting
All the tall, dark, thin girls in the class

That is the moment
We clasped hands
To stand against our
Ethics teacher for the unethical behaviour
Not only the tall, dark, thin dissented
Everyone did
The short,
The White,
The fat,
Every single fucking girl in the class did

That’s when
She slashed throats of people
Who dared to utter a word
The blue ink in notes
Turned into blood stains
Isn’t this brutal?
Isn’t this immoral?
If this is, every thing is.
Turn your chin up
From your mobile to see them

You don’t spray acid on lotus
Just because
It’s colorless like water.
Be careful on what you feed
It might incinerate
Your entire plant.
