THE ESSENCE OF BEAUTY

SHARE

Are you beautiful?
Were you born beautiful?
I don't think you don't think so.
But what makes you beautiful?
Have you thought of it?
What makes you beautiful?
Is it fashion?
No, I don't think so!
Fashion makes you ugly.
You may doubt this but the truth is:
Fashion makes you ugly.
You bleach your skin, and become fair;
You paint your face and make it dirty!
You expose your nudity and do not care:
The miniskirts do not make you purty!
Those long colourful nails make you look wild:
The natural human nails have no colours.
With useless costly fashion you yourself gild;
And on those 'things', you spend dollars!
The beautiful woman is the one whose face is raw:
No lipstick, no mascara, no paints!
She is the woman that does not look like a whore;
With appearance, befitting saints!
Woman, your beauty is not in fashion.
Your true beauty is in you!
I know I'll get haters but I don't care.
Fashion makes you ugly!
