Aesthetic

Ugly because am Black as the Raven but white as a dove,
Ugly because I am a man yet act like a child,
Ugly because I try to be humble yet my Pride articulate,
Ugly because I can't find love Nd I keep trying hard,
Ugly because I am a great thinker but Dormant in my actions,
Ugly because I am Precious but still not Worthy,
Ugly because I trust  easily yet betrayed daily 
Ugly because I am a King but still the world sees a pauper,
Ugly to the transgressor only because I see the LIGHT.
Ugly to the society because We speak the TRUTH.

Wow! Hold the horses. This poem makes the reader think. This is what makes it delightfully unusual, Obaba. Well done indeed!
