Dark she looked in the pursuit of light, <br />someone told her she ain't worth a fight. <br />Crazy she appeared in the shadow of the unknown, <br />restless is her mind in the company of the fearful, <br />ugly she seemed as per their eyes of beauty, <br />unworthy is her fate as decided by the lesser Gods, <br />“denial should be alloted” said the people called odds. <br />Hopes and dreams should be ceased, <br />must not behave like a lioness unleashed, <br />try not to attain any success ever reached, <br />for fortune must get her skin bleached. <br />Sad they were to watch her leave, <br />in no case should she feel apart from grieve. <br />Not their fault but fate, <br />prayers should be answered but late. <br />Their skin color is to blame, <br />nothing they should ever claim. <br />Victory is not a tree they can climb, <br />white and only fair is the sublime, <br />equality a thought can a soul remind? <br />Dark defeating fair is not fine, <br />lesser Gods trade into the Rhine, <br />their and only there is the shrine, <br />putting them down is not a crime, <br />neither do i need to rhyme, <br />this color.....is not mine. <br />It's a journey people embark, <br />so dark the color which calls them 'dark'. <br /> <br /> <br />note: this is about people who are called 'dark' because of their skin color, also, talks about how another race ignores and ill-treats them.<br /><br />rinki nandy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dark-43/
