The Irrationality of Beauty
|
Posted By: jasmine carr on September 22, 2005 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 If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
