6 Mar: "if your complexion is a mess"

[if your complexion is a mess]

Related Poem Content Details

if your complexion is a mess 
our elixir spells skin success 
you’ll have appeal bewitch be adored 
hechizando con crema dermoblanqueadora 

what we sell is enlightenment 
nothing less than beauty itself 
since when can be seen in the dark 
what shines hidden in dirt 

double dutch darky 
take kisses back to Africa 
they dipped you in a vat 
at the wacky chocolate factory 

color we’ve got in spades 
melanin gives perpetual shade 
though rhythm’s no answer to cancer 
pancakes pale and butter can get rancid

  1. I have read through this three times and I do not really get it.

    Beauty creams, elixirs, and "wacky chocolate factories" hide what is underneath. They hide the "dirt" and the true "color"...it is a fake beauty, or is it the enhancement of beauty? Using art and color as a perpetual shade to enlighten true beauty?

    What did you get here?
