Beauty or Blindness


Beauty or Blindness

Reflecting in the rippling mirrors,
Society is showing it's facial fears,
Perfection with every correction,
Playing up the cosmetic profession.

Artificially sculpted appearance,
With a soul stained in "Clearance".
Pouty lips and lighten'd tips,
Hide back room darkened clips.

Falsified petty projections,
Corrupted intended intentions.
Waning moralistic apprehensions,
Poorly judged comprehensions.

Their side tracked priorities,
Shifting in all their conformities.
Deciding shade and hue,
And what's next? What's new?

Delusional deliriousy,
Mis-guided lunacy.
Loss of their reality, 
And missing morality.

Their blindness is INSANITY

What happened to beauty inside?
Intelligence in your mind?
Living for one another,
Everyone being your brother?

Appearance is over-rated,
Kindness needs to be generated,
And the love in hearts created.
