Dark Skinned Vs Light Skinned

In our Asian-cum-Eastern land No one prefers or admires the dark-skinned or tanned Gosh, as if the fair-skinned alone belonged to the so-called fairer sex And here, 'black is beauty' a phrase unheard All falling for the light skinned almost in reflex! Bachelors on the hunt for a non-fictional Asian 'Snow-white' Even an ugly heart will do if the skin is white, pale and light For them lighter skin tis brighter and better at beauty even if superficial and skin-deep The dark-skinned maidens thereby left single to weep But while the ebony dark- pigmented go on applying whitening and lightening creams The white Westerners frequented the sunlit beaches for dark tans from sun beams! So in westerners females wish to look browned and tanned Thus the opposite is preferred so to that end they may sun bathe for hours on beach sand Ah and though from the point of view of my motherland I am luckier that God chose to model me from a peachy whiter lighter clay, I still feel this tug-of-war between complexions needn't really join the fray. For when you and I glance at Naomi Campbell we know beauty can be white, brown and black as well Like love, beauty knows no colour, creed or race As proved by this gorgeous black supermodel. Besides, we all have come across both dark-skinned angelic saints and fair-skinned folks with sinner's taints Ah, Black Beauty, or Fair and lovely Beauty has never known any bounds For God He distributed beauty rather equally No argument can last on these grounds Oh, a soulmate's inner beauty ought to be earnestly sought Too bad lustful passions fall for those merely outwardly hot!
