WHY MINGLE THY BEAUTY WITH PRIDE?A Poem by Dandy MbuongBeauty depends solely on the beholder's judgment. The mimosa pudica leaves is beautiful for its humility. Thus, for beauty to manifest there is humility to test. Pride is a killer of beauty.
Oh! My sweet Primrose
Why mingle thy beauty with pride? For pride has compelled thy humility to hide And forced arrogance from thee to expose. My sweet little Primrose, I recall when thy pride was inside And then thy beauty showed outside Only then were many charmed to thy toes. But now my dear sweet lover Like the Mimosa Pudica leaves When touch will fold and quake; So thy beauty shies and sleeps deeper For the pride and arrogance it receives Only now awaiting humility to awake © 2015 Dandy Mbuong |
