Betrayed By Beauty

Beauty however, it may be perceived can be a silent, painful, ugly traitor Take beautiful woman is within reach but you cannot propose anything because she is married A handsome man is ring-fenced because he is somebody’s rib Jump the law and God adds logs in the fire of hell to prepare your arrival; society eagerly holds rope for your waist Yes. There is a beautiful free lady but your pockets are smeared with mud You look and look but cannot touch You talk and talk but voice will be unheard Maker did not democratize beauty, you know! Freedom of enjoyment of beauty limited so humans are lower than Angels Beauty is a powerful master, I may say It can be a dangerous slave driver as well It can betray you; it can enslave you a suit of painful wishes it can dress you in, with epileptic convulsions in the soul for life As you eat ready-made food with red eyes, smell aroma of sausages munched in vision only dreams can salvage you as you live betrayed, cheated by beauty
