Is Beauty Really Beautiful?

they talk of beauty, but where does it reside?

in smooth skins, or crispy hair;

in thin lips,or deep dark eyes;

in soft hand-shakes or gentle intonations;

in fake smiles or false adulations?

is beauty really that beautiful?

pleasant, lovely, and graceful?

but how can it be so?

when it can only see

all that's made-up and artsy;

and only breeds discrimination?

when snobbery it prefers,

and prejudices it admires,

and repugnance is its manifestation?

let beauty be a forgotten word

a word never said and never heard.

for it teaches to hate and despise

to look down upon and criticize.
