Njeri Hunjeri Poet Free verse

White Face

Mirror mirror, who do I see?
Thank you my camera, the lighter the better 
Photoshop at its best, my dear speciality, I didn't even go to school for it

Dencia would be proud of me, no more melanin 
        All more whitenicious 
Vera Sidika may need to up her game, competition never felt so good

A little cream here, a smaller pill daily
A lot more injections, yes!
Peel me away, brighter everyday

Julia Ward June 28, 2015 at 8:03 AM A sobering situation... Njeri Hunjeri June 29, 2015 at 8:45 AM Its very sad. I wrote this because there are african women who bleach themselves to change their skin color. Some will do anything to get the lighter complexion. Thank u Julia for the visit and have a good day
