Colour merely doesn't
define whole character,
Nature provides
shade for this matter.
Your richness is
existing pure genuinity,
Get adorned well
with glistening purity.
Since it's beyond
the precious gold,
Auctioningly
never let it be sold.

Black is afterall a
dark skin pigmentation,
Unfair to create a
huge human fragmentation.
Ugly look is better
than hideous mind,
Wherein fairness of face
remains still unkind.
For external beauty
fades with aging wrinkles,
Internal beauty sustains
as ever glowing angels.

Confident কি তুই তোর স্কিন নিয়ে?
না মানে,, This colour doesn't suit you..
ওরা শোনে সমাজের প্রচলিত,
চাপা রঙের তকমার বাঁকে..
সাহসিনীরা জবাব দেয়,,
I love my Skin Color..
মনের খবর ওদের কেই বা রাখে..

--সুপর্ণা মুখার্জী

A selcouth soul,
Dark and beautiful.
Lurking behind the shadows of dawn.
Hiding from the masses,
For he might be judged by his colour.
The colour of night.
The colour that enlivens the stars at sight.

-

Skin colour is not a marker of beauty. Our society needs to relinquish the artificial standards of beauty that have been assimilated through the colonial encounter.

-

Behold the beauty of the night
the solace in it's sight,
stars lying as jasmines in long black hair
why human race is still after fair
Dark is pure, dark is dense
Without a blend it's intense
The rationale was vague and never clear
Why human race is still after fair

"কালো মেয়েটি"
কারোর চোখে সে কৃষ্ণকলি,
কারোর কাছে সে শুধুই চোখের বালি।

''.. You have to understand skin colour doesn't matter , how beautiful is your
Heart matter ..''

-

"Skin colour does not matter"
But there's a hitch in others' mind
Because they don't understand
That tenderness of heart shines.

Skin, whether fair or dark,
Heart should always be kind,
Your mind needs to be immaculate
To understand this line.

Oh! If you have fair skin,
That's good.
But don't judge others on the
Basis of their outward look.

Your heart is pure,
This is the most important thing for sure.
Dark is also beauteous,
The night sky makes it sagacious.

Dark is also glamorous.
If not so,
Zozibini Tunzi would not
Have been Miss Universe,
You know.

TANNED

Our clothes depict our character,
As our skin depict our tribe,
They are chameleons,
They change their colors with people.

Actually not...

It's people who are!
Clothes are essence of life
So, why blame them?
It's people who are too judgemental,
Wear short clothes
Find yourself be a slut,
Wear traditional one
Find yourself be a decent one,

To end this vicious tradition
It's better to roam
NAKED!!
