time for people to wake up and realise identity...self beauty...self righteousness


Hey YOU!! (part one)

Hey you, yeah you over there
you with the coloured contacts and with weave for hair
permed, pressed and chemically treated to look light
in all attempts for you to look white
what about the queens of ancient africa?
beautifully dreadlocked and tied with golden string
ruling over thousands of beautiful human beings

Yes, YOU..with your artificial nails,
silicone breasts and liposuctioned stomach
brainwashed by a money-hungry society to show atrificial beauty
where its not you that is beautiful, it was your money
thinking that me, the onlooker thinks you look fine
did you buy your identity for $19.99?

Wow! Steven, this is such an intelligent take on the mindless indulgences of those with money and obssessed with looks and superficial values of life!
***hugs for that thought provoking piece***
Love, xxx, Zoya
