Darkly Fair ? or Fairly Dark ?

 Blogger friend Shail Mohan,  with a very thought provoking click, in this land superobsessed with being fair;  in complexion, not necessarily in attitude .....

Sometimes, innocently pliable sunshine leaves and majestic dark butterflies,  combine to send us a message......

Pity those
of rigid minds,
misinformed bipeds
who wallow
in superiority
concerning
the presence
or absence
of melanin.....

It is not Fair
to think Darkly,
or vice versa;

For they
set off each other's
brilliance
in amazing ways,
when they
play together....
