Blind
IKevin Anderson 1965 (Illinois)
Beautiful is a great stake of mind....
In the eye of the beholder Beauty shines...
Only the surface does the beauty show....
What in the heart of the Beautiful one never knows...
Still waters run deep into the depths of a soul...
Trails and tribulations go untold
The pain that smoothers the smiles reason for being...
The eyes of the beholder never truly seeing...
If ugliness wasn't a burden intrrenched in with the bones...
The eyes of the beholder wouldn't care to seek the beauty nor condone...
The pain and strife with the ugliness is shown...
Yet beauty is sought while the deep of it's ugliness goes unknown...
Beautiful is a great stake of mind....
In the eye of the beholder is blind...
Only the surface does the beauty show its fragile face....
What in the heart of the Beautiful one never knows.the depth of disgrace...
