The Very Beautiful and the Very Ugly

The very beautiful and the very ugly share a fate--
Each are lost.
For one who is your friend the other where--
The first built a wall the second a ward--
Because beauty is so cruel

Some times beauty is a handicap. Other times a savior... Life is never predictable or fair... Again thought provoking.
