Dark colors Deep Emotions
A tale of unique struggles
In a group of laughing and playing children,
but some are maintaining a distance.
Their color and appearance were different from others,
making them feel somewhat separate from the group.
They are sad, and their faces are Dried up.
An age-old toxic system has stolen their laughter,
taken away their happy childhood,
erased the simple feelings of friendship from their hearts.
This harsh system has buried their innocence and joy,
pushing them into a deep Rift of suffering, insecurity, and despair.
This system is ruining their lives, destroying their natural happiness and relationships,
and Haunting their bright future.
Author Note: - Hello, my well-wishers; I know this is quite a serious and emotional issue. If my words have hurt you, I sincerely apologize. That was not my intention. To criticize a person, especially under a centuries-old toxic practice, is a denial of humanity. I have witnessed many times the mockery of people with black skin. It made me realize how tragic and serious this matter is. Humanity has crossed all limits.

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.

This is sad but very true. Thanks for sharing this, it seems like it will never change.
my friend you such a talent
very good
First of all, hugs for writing this. It is painful to read, but that's the point. We need to stop that kind of pain
Well I don't understand why people are so dumb to understand it's melanin which cause pigmentation and is actually good for our skin. Seriously I have seen racism overflowing these days. Loving it!!!
People can be such a-holes. 😔
This broke my heart so much. Loved your poem!
I always wanted to write about the racism throughout the world. What was their fault? To have a skin tone that doesn't match the standards of others! It wasn't, and still isn't their fault that judges' eyes lack the charm and light to encapture the beauty in their color. If I ever get a chance to be friends with BLACK, I definitely would! I would love to. I don't judge them or anyone by that. For me, beauty standards are totally something else... . What other beautiful way of showing the despair of the different ones could be! Today, you made my day. I feel so humble and down-to-earth. And I don't think that a single person reading this owes an apology. It's 'bout the rights. It's about humanity. And It's still alive 🥺👌❤✨
