Beauty and the Beast

Beauty the sun that rises each day
Beauty the wind that blows through the trees.
Beauty the rain that falls from above.

Beast the hatred we do based on skin color.
Beast the hatred we pass based on gender.
Beast the hateful words that we speak.

Beauty the love we share on special days
Beauty the kind words we share to those we meet
Beauty the stars in the sky

Beast the jealously of our so-called friends.
Beast when a life is taken by violence.
Beast lies told to you in your face.

Beauty the moon that shines at night
Beauty the son of God laying down his life.
Beauty is having a true loving family.
