Beautiful is one thing
I never wish to be
since beauty can fade
and turn to obscenity.
Beautiful is one thing
I could just do without
since beauty shrouds the truth,
leaving only doubt.
Beautiful is one thing
I never can avoid
since beauty holds my heart
making all thoughts devoid.
Beautiful is only one thing
while there are more things of import
since beauty means nothing
without compassion and support.
