Beauty and goodness veiled by my ignorance;
Blind to my partial eyes; prejudice in romance;
Lost to ways and manners of a debased world,
Till I realize she is unique – so beautiful & bold.
Considered as the Unfortunate by her peers,
She suffers their mocking and hurtful jeers.
Abandoned in her own World of Loneliness,
She wonders if her creation be purposeless.
Thru’ its narrow lens t’e World does see her;
Make her carry an undeserved scarlet scar;
Ignorant of her heartaches and bitter tears,
Whilst she builds a wall for what she fears.
Hark! The heavens admonish and proclaim;
Her beauty- crystal pure God Himself claim,
Unblemished, yet unseen by foolish people-
Who, for vain glories, her real spirit trample.
Hark! Ye mortals with preconceived notion;
Away with your biases and proud adulation
Over the external features of fellow beings,
That takes its one-way flight on aged wings.
Cast off thy dark lenses, veils & judgements.
Learn from mother nature and the elements.
Peep into the soul of any human ye call ugly,
And ye shall discover the truth of real beauty.
