Beauty

Beauty We have seen him carry the weight of a hundred men on his back We have seen him fight wars he couldn’t fight back Like oxen pulling weight with such physical force, He is incomprehensible, with the work ethic of an elaborate cohort He has exerted all his energy from efforts that were uncertain Everyday living resorts to fighting strongholds wondering if it’s worth it We do not see him for the accomplishments but for what he has done wrong. Concentrating on the negative and what could go wrong No, not me, what I see, is a man, a vision of beauty Are we intimidated by his looks, his character his color? Or are we afraid of what he might create between the barriers of different colors? Look at the heart of man and you shall see that he is gentle and sometimes sad from anguish and grief Compassionate, full of love, sometimes doesn't recognize what he's worthy of Wanting to show himself who he really is So defeated that his gifts remain buried within Look at the eyes of man you can tell the tears he has cried trying to deal with his inner man Men can be beautiful too it’s the softer side it’s hard to get to Make no mistake when he lets you in This man will love you over and over again Hard yet soft, gentle he can be A man is a man in his own unique So when you look at a man, remember to look into his eyes for the questions that answer, who am I?
