- Body In Different Shapes -

Flash with lightning speed ~ quickly and mercilessly
You have, after all, learned that beauty is more than the eye can see

The outer has undeniably its value and function
It is not just, what's inside that counts

Beauty is in the eye of the one who sees
Appearance are becoming more important for all age groups

The outer has undeniably its value and function.. But it fades in time.. Inner never fade.. It may get covered with dust.. If brushed, it will shine again.. Great poem giving lot of substance to think..

The lightning speed is an allegory for just how fast our lives pass before our own eyes. Yes, it has to be.
