Beauty Book

Beauty is like the cover of a book
that's pleasing to the eye
but doesn't always revile 
the real person inside
We tend to asome
that beauty defines health and good
without looking deeper
beauty is often misunderstood
Those less fortunate
are often judged
and portrayed as villains
and far from good.

Beauty can be ugly
and ugly can be beautiful
it's just a case of being wise
and you may discover
and not simply
judging a book by it's cover.
