Unjust yardstick

They box and label with expertise,

Years of experience come in handy,

Indifferent to aspect of the soul,

Physical appearance is the key.

.

Some cages are labelled ‘too fat’,

Some say ‘too dark’ with a dark grin,

Slightest deviation of God’s mould,

Meticulously stamped, discarded as sin.

.

Some victims withdraw from public sphere,

Some dread the mirror, for eternity,

Some drown in a sea of guilt and shame,

Shattered by upholders of vicious ills.
