Body Shaming

By Evita Reny

 Societal standards were high and bigoted,

They shamed us for every wart and pimple,

Blamed our features for being way too simple,

Oh, when will they realize human body isn’t clay,

It is a mortal case with the same fate of decay,

She was subject to the caged notions of the community,

They picked on her at every passing opportunity,

Categorized as pear, apple or hour glass,

She wondered if men had the choice to give these shapes a pass?

Skinny shaming or fat shaming, why should we shame a body carved by God?

Social media is nothing but wolf in sheepskin,

Makes one hollow and just focus on external façade,

From embracing curves to obsessing over random veins and popping nerves,

Oh, when will man realize that bodies aren’t meant to be sculpted by us,

For we are already made perfectly by the Sculptor,

So, who are we to judge what God doesn’t deem worthless,

Who are we to pin point or standardize beauty?
