Welcome to Shadow land.
A world derived from light.
Inhabited by Silhouettes,
Weightlessly, they move with astounding agility.
Impossible is possible in Shadow Land.
The Crazy shapes, Haunting vestiges.
O People who cast shadow over one's happiness
Beware of an obscurity waiting for you.
Shadows are voiceless.
Enslaved by men in real world.
In chains, from birth.
We move, They move.
Even so, there isn't untouchability in Shadow land
Because shadows can neither be touched, nor judged.
Size doesn't matter in Shadow land.
Move towards Light*, and you are colossal.
Farther you go, the petty you become.
Colour is alien to Shadow land.
No Fair, No Dark, All same.
Only shades of Black and White.
Lincoln would have been happy here.
But Shadow Land is forgotten in the dark.
To be rebuilt again in radiance.
