Beauty is Arrogance

Beauty props it arrogance against the wall

 

Jealousy stumbled backwards into a frown

 

Reaches down to peel it off with a glum look

 

However, if this beauty had a heart instead of a whispering eye

 

It would have master the art of love and not lustful men

 

A piece of work in the palm of it hands

 

Instead beauty turns its condescending lashes into a performing act

 

Smiles at jealousy in between a dreamers fantasy   

 

Jealousy can only hope to dry beauty of its arrogance 

 

Only beauty has always been one steps up in making things "not appear as they appear to be"

 

The lack of confidence breaks open like a blister

 

Words of lust creeps up like a rotting sinner

 

Raping the souls of the young and restless  

 

Aging on those perfect lips to bathe in a tube of lies

 

Displaying a show of emptiness on a concrete wall

 

So when the poison set into jealousy heart   

 

Only one thing will be set in stone

 

Jealousy is wasted space but Arrogance Is Beauty

 

Arrogance will break open a bottle of wine

 

And beauty will help lighten the mood

 

Jealousy will only lower it confidences down the wall

 

Lose courage and stumble back into a corner of cobwebs

This may be true for the physical beauty that everyone today is caught up in. And yeah, outer beauty is fun to look at and play with. It ain't real beauty though. In real beauty there is humility, a kind, respectful subservience to the ones who matter. Real beauty bears love instead of lust, slips everything from a crimson spectrum to one lightly rose-tinted.

Well written poem, got me thinking now about the nature of words and the true associations between them rather than their twisted company of diction that each one has thanks to the selfish society of today.
