PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Rubbing cheap soap on her tanned skin
Dust and sweat from a hard days toil
Poster of the flashy superstar
Covers her young mind with a golden foil

She dons a clean salwar kameez
Sprinkles talcum powder on her body
Rushes to her neighbours house
Devours the spicy movie hopes to be a somebody

Freshmint toothpaste with mouthwash
Ads of expensive gadgets, cosmetics
Coaxing to SMS on Freenet Mobiles
To download free movie clips,ringtones

She feels the thorns on the ladders rungs
Barefooted climbs from childhood to youth
What do our Miss Bharats think ?
What I write  is it uncouth ?
