Oh! Dear Black Girl

Society discriminates the people of dark-skinned, and

yesterday I found a girl with complexion black

she was whining in sorrow

sad about what happened yesterday

In a polite way

I said to her

oh!dear black girl don't be sad

the whites hate the color black

but they eat the cupcakes with black

oh!dear black girl, the world is full of miseries

that's why everything here is temporary

oh!dear black girl, it doesn't matter

whether you're dark-skinned or fair-skinned

'cause beauty lies in people's eyes

Oh!dear black girl don't cry in pain

your tears will go away as soon as it rains

oh!dear black girl don't lose your hope

as nothing can hurt you

until you lose hope

Oh!dear black girl be courageous and fight

'cause discrimination will continue

until you fight with all your might

oh!dear black girl don't suicide

as life is a ride

where everyone has to sit side by side

Oh!dear black girl stand with a vow

that I will never be defeated

whatever may come

oh! dear black girl don't feel you are different

'cause different are those who say complexion black indifferent

Black girl with all the qualities of a fighter

fight on the field of discrimination

as discrimination will continue

until she fights for her rights

Battling and battling with all the evils

vanishing all the society devils

at last she won the war

and shouted for the removal of racial discrimination.

~ARUSHI SAHU

This prose is about a dark skinned girl who has been bullied cause of her complexion from all around the world. Wherever she went she had to listen one or the other taunt about her complexion. She’s is totally depressed….

But another girl tries to encourage her by saying that it’s what heart matters and not the complexion. And that’s what we all have to do. It’s clear that nowadays the racial discrimination is not increasing rapidly. But still there are thousands of people who are going through this racial discrimination. All we need to do is to become hope for those people and help them get out of this misery.

And together we have to eradicate racial discrimination from this earth….
