Beauty's Truth

Beauty's Truth

A Poem by Octavious
"

Just a thought about beauty

"
Its about what the world creates,
it about how it makes us see our mistakes,
the beauty 
the lies, 
the fakes in their ties,
what is beauty?
is your answer a lie.

I look at you and know what to say,
this is one is ugly,
this one will be pretty one day.
Maybe a bit more make-up to hide that tone away. 

When I ask what is beauty what would you say?
The physical aspect, 
of what is your lustful prey.

Is this really beauty?
I don't think that way,
A perfect figure murdered her child the other day,
is she beautiful anyways?

Look into their soul,
look into their minds,
then tell me who is the one to admire.
No make up,
no rags,
no distraction of the body.

Now tell me, which one is beauty,
if I ask you once more what is beauty to you,
what would you say?
will think the same,
or would you vear away?

Wow!! This Is powerful......
beauty lies in the soul. Only the wise figure that one out. It was good you raised that one out.
It's a wake up call for those who are still searching for soul-mates, to know where to search for true beauty. Thumbs up

... it's a pity I couldn't rate above a 100.

excellence compels attention pal
I love the depth and the pointed question keeping the reader on topic. It also followed through with direct self opinions that were given to the reader so harshly that a good reader could tell they were from experiences in the writers life.
Personally, I loved it.
not going to rate cuz your work is NOT a number to me. :)

Reminds me of a poem I've written called Natural Beauty. It provokes the same sort of thoughts. I liked this :)

Awesome. :) It's sad but true, that people often confuse real beauty with the physical appearance of the person. :) This is a nice piece of poetry.

Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder no doubt, some
find extreme beauty in things and people that others find
offensive and grotesque, thought provoking piece,
Thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

The question of what is beauty or not?
"Now tell me, which one is beauty,
if I ask you once more what is beauty to you,
what would you say?
will think the same,
or would you vear away?"
Beauty is what is hidden by the eyes of the uncaring. True beauty send hope, kindness and concern without the need of payment. I liked the poetry that asked questions. This poem does. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
