Beauty In Eyes
Beauty is in the keen eyes,
Not in the clear blue skies;
Clouds that twirl in shape,
Or forest greens that drape;
Life is beautiful, if only we have the eyes for it.
The flowers of colours rare
Will make the sights ensnare
You in their fragrant embrace
Of soft petals and curly face
Life is beautiful, if only we have the eyes for it
Men are blind, how to cherish beauty,
Even if everything they own is pretty;
Nothing will be there to see, or enjoy
Leading to happiness, delight, or joy;
Life is beautiful, if only we have the eyes for it.
The melodious nightingale singing
And the insects, in dusk, chirping;
Together, give us music so unique,
An atmosphere infinitely mystique;
Life is beautiful, if only we have the eyes for it.
We see, but in essence, we are blind,
The little things that we seldom find;
Better it is that we close our eyes,
To open our mind, and fully realise;
Life is beautiful, if only we have the eyes for it.
Gone are the golden days of yore,
We had time to enjoy to the core;
To look at sights, watch, and gaze,
At things that spontaneously amaze;
Life is beautiful, if only we have the eyes for it.
The human intellect is unquestionable,
But, never our character that is fallible;
We love destroying the things we have,
In irrational quest for what we don’t have;
Life is beautiful, if only we have the eyes for it.
Nothing ever seems to be right,
Except the times when we fight;
What more have we turned into,
With an eye on political power too;
Life is beautiful, if only we have the eyes for it.
Can we become humans again,
To work for humanity, not gain;
To make this world a better society,
To maintain peace, and our sanity;
Life is beautiful, if only we have the eyes for it.
To live a worthy life, fear not ignoble death,
When the time is near, cling not to wealth
We entered this world sans a stitch on us
We shall leave it amidst things worthless
Life is beautiful, if only we have the eyes for it.
Men who spread evil, hatred on Earth,
Never will find solace a penny’s worth;
Those who scheme to spread dissent,
Will, however fail, in the end repent;
Life is beautiful, if only we have the eyes for it.
