Dark

As seeing dark people praying to Jehovah to bless 
other races daily ,  love jumps , jumping happily , 
angels of God screaming " profound Love." 
Quote by poet. 

Dark and lovely in the eyes of some folks
and not others on earth 
because of different choices.  
If dark person fails to value himself
"herself"due to rumours 
of some people and think 
to bleach his " her" skin 
to look very cheaper,
it is a personal choice 
and no one can be blamed 
when there are more consequences. 
By bleaching the skin to look as some folks, 
it is very risky, 
risk to get  cancer and other terrible diseases. 
There were some dark musicians and actors 
who wanted to look like other races 
and transformed themselves  
through plastic surgeries 
and ended up dying by cancer. 
Some dark people must always be happy
for who they are and forget  validations
 of  other races.  
No matter how bullied 
in some part of the world,
remember that natural dark skin
is also lovely 
and very beauty.
