Black and White

In the land of the colourless Dravidian
there lived once a light skinned man
married to a woman swarthy of the skin
and there was a scion of the said union

Everyone gushed whom "appa's son"
when the land rotated towards the sun
but when the light faded as day came down
"amma's son" they said in unison
