Tone up yourself a bit
And turn from fat to fit
Flex up your arms and legs
To get your body in proper shape
To look like a macho male
You say
Just look at your Skin Tone so dark and dull
Get some expensive whitening treatments done
You suggest
You think you are acting kind enough
By enlightening me about those ads on television
Which share the formula for a superior-looking complexion
Required to fascinate the other sex
Do you think, I’m a naive incompetent
In judging your Tone
When you sarcastically jibe
Oh this style wasn’t meant for you
And this colour your designer shouldn’t have used
You think you can injure my pride
By passing those comments
Let me tell you, I have the power to
Change the Tone of the surroundings
With just my presence and my jaunty spirit
And with pride I declare
Your outlook on Body-Shaming
And Gender-Shaming me
And your opinion about the physical me
I reject to accept
