Real Monkey Look by Nobody: 8:15am On Dec 10, 2019
REAL MONKEY LOOK.
Fashonless this is
Uncivil it is
I, living in dark ages
Born in 21st but appear in 18th century

Please never lie
What am I?
A monkey?
I have a monkey look?

Day by day, stigma goes with me
Time to time, solemn I weep
I, with uncivilized emblem
I, a career of dark ages

Why cutting my face?
Why wicked thou art?
Why making me old?
Why giving me eternal sorrow?

I came freshly made
Glowing, smooth; my face
No limitation nor stigma
But all a lamentation history

Do not seal my mouth
Let me talk ill of the wicked
The organizers of shame
Their brutality I berate

Many doors of opportunities close
Many ladders of success shorten
Many this, many that unfulfilled
Many nights of depression emerge

Among fellow color, I am a leper
The other colours detest me
Those that love hates my stigma
I hate it myself

Cultural scarification is bad
Its consequence is devastating
It works with limitations, ridicule
It is the real bane.
