Not Yet White Within Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

In a bolt as an ill-fitting nut,
Asian, not a full-fledged coconut,
Brown by a native skin,
Not yet white from within,
But do Brits help them blend?
Extend a helping hand?
No, they only love to bare their butt.
_____________________________________________________
A third of UK residents of age 34 and within of South Asian origin, do not feel British. A survey called them coconuts— brown from outside as ever ere, not yet white within. This perhaps means that such coconuts are unable to grow fully in British environment. But does it not reflect on the so-called fair country? A case of ‘I like not the apple I need'.
