Went around the world,

Met a million different faces among,

Every face so similar yet so different,

Deeper in their eyes a new foreign song was sung,

Every eye had its own shade,
Every shade had its own character,
In that character was a hidden angel,
Coupled with a demon as their guilt story's narrator,

I came across the endless ocean of blue,
Drowning in their own depression,
Depth of their emotions unnerving,
I had to resist my instinct to question
,

Then I met the cunning green,
Refreshing, imaginative but out of reach,
They were the masters of their own world,
Cheats and tricks I wished they would teach,

I stumbled across the path of pitch black,
Moonless, starless and endless,
Their darkness was swallowing,
Under their gaze I felt breathless and helpless,

So I ran and found the unnoticed brown,
Wise, warm and neglected,
Like hot chocolate on a snowy day,
I felt at home, safe and protected,

They introduced me to their rare grey companion,
Taken aback by the uncommon pigmentation,
Unconventionally, they did not signify any sadness or darkness,
Under their mystical aura, I was mesmerized in a short duration,


They gave me the tour of the city,
City of void soul, fancy words, dark hearts and bright eyes,
I learnt that way that humans have evolved yet again,
Window to their soul is just a part of the old truths and the new lies,


Every eye according to their means of affordability,
Used glitter, gold and glass as a distracting façade,
To avoid the shadows under and around hollow irises,
they were addicted to the use of this consuming fraud.
