No One Is Perfect But

There once was a man,
And he thought his skin was too white,
He got a little tan,
Started eating rice

But he started thinking,
What's wrong with myself?
Was god wrong making my skin?
Am I rejected, or doing this made me win?

Who you were, you still are,
It's the inside that matters,
You don't have to argue for other's sake!
No one is perfect,
Don't think that you are

If you think that your health doesn't matter,
And people don't tell you the truth,
What is science, is science,
Don't take the other route!

No one is perfect,
And no one can truly be,
If how you look matters to you,
There is just something that you don't see.

No one is perfect,
But you are perfect in the way you are,
Health, a real truth,
No one tells lies, and there are no aliens on mars!

There are no secrets,
And in this era you are not 'oppressed',
Achieve something or do something that is true!
You are perfect in the way you are,
So stop being distressed!
