Holi Hai
Popular Poems Topics for You.
Holi: the festival that forgets itself—
that forgets the formality and rank,
that throws its color at the usually untouchable
and laughs at the protocol it sank.
For one day the elder is the target
of the nephew's entirely aimed balloon,
for one day the neighbor is embraced in color
in the democratic April noon.
Color is the most forgiving medium—
it lands on everyone and claims them all—
Holi says: beneath the colors we are equal,
beneath the rang we have the same bright call.
