 The Irrationality of Beauty

The Irrationality of Beauty

Beauty is what most believe they have
Yet also what others long for
Some want outer
And others have outer
While others wish to step into the door
With songs of glorious angels to cast spells of juicy cotton candy
Yet what they fail to realize is what they have is all more dandy
But if the outer’s weren’t so arrogant
And the inner’s were more open
Then this world would be better
Yet we’re still wishing and hoping
Peace for the world
Love for all man kind
Because beauty is the veil that makes our eyes so blind
So we lollygag like sloths
Depressed and frustrated
Made with our brothers
Towards our sisters we show hatred
But if only the inner’s and the outer’s would come together
We’d fly higher then any eagle
Through this joyess suicidal weather

This is one of the tightest writings I have seen Sis.
I have talked about vanity myself, even recently.
I just have to give crdit where due, Proverbs 3:27-28.
Deep.
You have the Muse to write.
Apllause.
"God" Bless
Keep up the good work.!!
