There’s beauty in diversity. Without variety life would be bland. Beneath the superficial difference, there’s an inherent sameness in all humans. This tanka is very apt for the recent times.
Red is the colour
Of blood that flows in our veins
It is not black, white
Black, white is not a colour
Just the darkness in our minds.
# Tanka
