The dot

between the eyebrows

once black, now red

used to be forced

now it’s done with happiness

comes in different names

sometimes colourful to match the days

and moods

and clothes

great significance

unknown to many

the press of the point to activate the chakra

for you to feel the difference

it’s not for fashion

it’s not to show off

it’s for you

just for you

a small dot

that is not

just a dot.
