EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL
EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL
It has been said that everything is beautiful
Both nature and creative works of mankind
But that is solely in the eye of the beholder
Am I becoming more cynical as I get older
It’s a solution, not the problem, you’ll find
Is reticence now to be regarded as dutiful
So, I shall keep my opinions only to myself
Many failed attempts at remodelling nature
I am not disposed to make any concession
Despite this veiled attempt at a confession
Much artwork won’t survive long I’ll wager
Such as those ornaments there on the shelf
Can criticism truly be treated as objective
A few things appear ugly, at least at first
But this might be a distorted point of view
As everything must surely be given its due
And all is revealed in a bright sudden burst
Realising that a mirror is actually reflective
