Notes About The Poem

Beautiful People

("The Nature of Light", 2018, original encaustic)

Beautiful People

The world is full of beautiful people 
With beautiful ideas
Of saving the world
Making a difference 
Righting all wrongs
By just telling others what they think
And what they should think.

The world is full of skin deep beauty 
Hiding the ugly truth
Of such useful idiocy.
