Are You Pretty
Being pretty is a boon
That can make you famous soon.
Being not so pretty is a curse,
That can make any situation worse.
This modern world has no heart,
It still judges people by beauty part.
No ugly person can have a good soul,
That's what everybody told.
But they preach like God,
All are his children, nobody's odd.
Talking philosophically is the style,
But following it takes a while.
I'm a girl,
Rather not so pretty girl.
But I can proudly say,
I'm better of in many way.
I don't hurt people,
For what they're not responsible.
I respect every true being,
Irrespective of their beauty seeing.
Not everyone has the courage,
To accept and encourage,
A fact said à hundred time,
'Beauty lies in the beholder's eye'.
If you are a pretty soul,
You don't need a pretty whole.
Remember that body's a cloak,
Once it flies, it reveals the fake.
Its for you to decide,
Or to decline,
But never to someone disgrace,
For a not so pretty face.
