Beauty Contest

Adam’s suit’s beautiful and luring
Eyes know it, try to eat everything
eyes asking for more even that hidden
contesters leave them watering

Lips dry of saliva, remote with hope
but tears- rich squat with envious stare
flying appetite betrays insecure heart
knocking against walls of eager looks

Free and innocent beauties lie untapped 
hillside occupants are deadly pretty
trees, creepers, insects, terraces, waterfalls
wear no clothes but have unrivaled beauty

Yet humans parade nude human seeds
that eyes may selfishly eat their fill
