They Are Sick Of Fairness Poem by Soumita Sarkar

They Are Sick Of Fairness

Rating: 4.8


Girls of all age covert to have a fair skin
So all creams, face wash and sunscreen
Claim high to offer a better result
If used regularly by young or adult

They need a girl to sell all consumer goods
A bike, a brief, a condom a variety of foods
Mind it; the model has to be smart and fair
Fairer the girl larger the consuming share

Mothers want their daughters to be perfectly beautiful
Husbands desire to owe a wife fair and beautiful
(Even if she is unfaithful)
Boys search for a girl ‘fair and lovely’
(She is not selected sensibly)
The popular brand thus got established
And these are the reason behind this story.

An illogical convention feeds the public foolishness
That in any form ‘fairness’ is synonym to ‘goodness’

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Indian society is sick to have a brigade of girls who are anything but fair.
