This poem is about people I have seen go through surgery, so they lose the features of their origin, to look more Western or European.
The Asian is short and wants to be taller
The African is dark and wants to be lighter.
She doesn’t like her African nose
He’s tired of standing on his toes.
The European wants her lips fuller
The Korean wants her skin Paler.

Jo Bloggs wants a longer P*n*s
Wants to satisfy more than his Missus?
Kathy hates her flat bum and wants a rounded one, that’s full
Gordon wants a Botox done, so he looks young and can “pull”.
The Chinese wants surgery for double eyelids
Could the operation go wrong? – heaven forbid.
*
We’re all made in a Unique way
and should be grateful we wake up to see each day.
Some lost their legs in landmines, accidents and wars
Why would you want to lengthen yours?
Some don’t have eyes to see natures’ beauty
Why have your eyelids sliced in surgery?
Beauty / confidence comes from within
Be proud of your Origin.
