Secret-Of-The-Ugly-Man
He whose face is unsightly and bare
will never proceed with delusion
when confronted with reality.
He whose looks are
‘undesirable’
will cease to ridicule features of another.
He who sits on the side of the road
will refrain judgment of
the man who lay beside him.
He who wears shoes with holes
will fail to scowl upon
the woman who emerges from a different house every morning..
He who sleeps underneath a bridge
is not phased by
the pickup caked in mud that drives by each afternoon.
He who begs for food from others
says not a word
to those who steal.
He who is an outcast to society
understands the grievances
of even the most fortunate.
