The Asokan Pillars

Demonstrates the contraversy surrounding the Asokan Pillars.

Serendipity - Poem

Addresses the progressive strides when accepting people of colour.

Children are born blind to loathe others and bigotry 

With their uncanny smirks and foolish ways

From those who we respect the most, we are taught

ugliness

By self-righteous adults and discriminated assumptions

This makes them use words and terms that for generations

Have caused hate and bitterness

To our fellow brothers and sisters. 

Yes, it's true they are brainwashed and not born

To this social cancer of abhor and despise

I once asked a friend who is black how she would like

To be addressed?

Black, Afro-American?

'No', she answered, 'just call me friend'.
