Beauty

Oh! the wrong makeup
and the clumsy hair,
Not the mismatched sandals,
Just mind what you wear.

Going for a party or just a walk,
the lip gloss is sure to shine.
No matter how filthy you are,
your perfume will make you fine.

These are "apparent beautiful people".
For those who lack beauty in eyes,
Please make sure to give a compliment,
Only then will you "look wise".

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Nicely written. How many people only see superficial beauty?
