Beauty

Importance of beauty Well, what should I say A despondent heart knows it well It's power to make your survival easy Lips, nose and two eyes it takes To change your destiny, to change your fate And if you are bestowed to the dark shade All you'll see is the world's cruel face Harrasments, chuckles and countless stares All you can do is to refrain Though such people can't be blamed Their only possession is their pea sized brain So don't you worry you little sunshine Time knows best, everything will be fine Well, your heart knows you are pristine And it's enough to leave all the nitwits behind Just remember, nobody is inferior What matters the most are the virtues of the soul Every shade has it's own beauty, it's own role To make the canvas perfect to the core...

Some people's comments can be incredibly insensitive and hurtful. You have written wonderfully of inner beauty. I loved the line "What matters the most are the virtues of the soul" and also the word "pristine". This is heartwarming poetry, Asmi. Enjoy your day! ~ John

Asmi it is so sad that some people are so shallow and prejudice to others. We are equal in Gods eyes. If it is good enough for God it should be good enough for all of us. Very touching and truthful poem, you have written here. People that don't see beyond the skin color are judged by God in the end.

Exactly sir, I really don't understand how can anyone judge God's creation. It is extremely distressing. Well, thank you so much sir for your kind words.
