Wake up
Harpreeta Khoisnam *
She is dark , you are fair .
She is fat, you are fit .
She is ugly, you are beautiful
But both are humans.
What's her mistake in being ugly?
Why ! She has to suffer for her skin colour?
Why ! She can't wear anything that she likes?
Just because she is fat.
The world thinks , she is happy
But nobody notices that she weeps deep in silence.
Helplessly walking deep inside.
No sound of cry , but kills her inside
May be she can never fly .
May be she can never touch the sky .
Like those beautiful birds in the sky.
Trying to comfort herself.
Living in this criticism world ,
We have learnt and are into it .
Wake up sleeping creatures.
We are losing precious humans.
