Iceberg Beauty

They look virgin pure
As white as can be
But if you look more closely
The more you see

On the surface they are
What they appear to be
But under the surface
Its what we can not see

They can lure you in
With their beauty and charm
Their surface of hope
But below there's harm

The further you look
And the deeper down
There are so many more
So many more around
