So they say
Well I observed some

more than likely it was the beauty that was skin deep and the ugliness lay just beneath the surface. generally people are uglier when they don't have to show their own face, case in point, the internet is home of the most sadistic comments I've ever seen. try reading some of the comments on cracked.com to get a sense of how hideous people can really be if they don't have to answer to their ludicrous behavior. I'm projecting a lot on your poem...sorry. but then that's the point of poetry:)

Haaaaaaaaaaa! I know what you mean Sara. I think when we see ugly, we have to learn to look at it through eyes of love, untill we can see good. Smile. Sincerely, Moses
