Crazy World of Skin Colour

Some dark-skinned people seek to lighten their skin colour By applying skin creams to make themselves fairer Most of these creams have some chemical matter That can cause serious health problems later Their use is common in countries like India Where beauty and fair skin tone go together Girls are encouraged to avoid too much exposure To the sunshine which can make their skins darker But some white-skinned people who are born fairer Are not satisfied with their natural skin colour And wilfully seek more sunlight exposure To get a tan and make their skins darker For them, a skin that is darkened looks better And is more beautiful than their natural colour Yet, for white people, sunlight overexposure Can lead to a deadly form of skin cancer Some animals like to wallow in muddy water Which when dried can change their outer colour But this serves as a temperature regulator And keeps off skin pests of one form or another Animals do not seek to change their skin colour To consciously make themselves fairer or darker Such weird action is purely human in nature In this crazy world of people's skin colour
