Skin tone

Beauty is an odd statue
It resides behind a veil

When the sky dust around
Fluffy hazel burnt around
White snow hurled around
Colour on beauty pearled around
Tint of hue curled around
Subtle stare turned around

White, black, dusky, brown
My skin is my crown
Dusty is perception alone
Having an obsessed frown
Let beauty cuddle clown
Whose verdict is rusty tone

Sure is the logic proposed
Ugly, wealthy, pretty assured
Wisdom lured and supposed
Mercy broken and trolled
Tint on beauty rationally mocked
Beauty inside clocked and shocked

Inferred by shallow gaze
Of worthy and craze
Torn by single phrase
Blemish turned into ablaze
I learnt though a phase
My skin was just a shade
