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.
