Busted

We scoured unslept nights fitted with the poets words, found men busted in buses ,some Indians red and dead ,duly busted as the red ones are generally in a white scheme of things. That is nothing significant.

In a brown scheme of things brownest of them are busted ,a matter of pigments of skin .Somebody has to be busted. But all that is not significant.

In the white scheme the black or the red is the significant other.In native brown ,only shades. And depending on the shades they are busted as the other,a complex skin arrangement .

Somewhere in this skin thing is the wheat, not of our eating but a metaphor of skin color, a fairness not of judgement ,a skin deep in fairness cream. But it is not that significant.
