An opportunity to learn...

Many times we learn things

And assume that we know a lot,

At least we think we understand,

But many times that’s not true,

In this journey of mine in Canada 

I got opportunity to learn about

And understand about many things

Like about lesbians,

That they can be everywhere

But I never heard of any of this,

Not even a word in my country,

One thing I understood that.

We all are human and still

We don’t have to think alike,

We don’t have to be same,

But we still have to coexist,

Felt good that people are open

They at least openly talk about it

Good or bad but at least they talk,

If you hide and suppress things,

Nothing is going to change,

Everywhere and every person,

Can only progress if they ask questions,

Or at least by raising their voice,

Which is important too,

Or else its like powerlessness

Like a frog that hasn’t seen the world

Living in the well!
