Some have said
“It is good
to be beautiful”
maybe it would

to see what you like
to be pleased by your peers
while the clock is ticking
in the mirror

where’s the good
in useless pleasure
where’s the beauty
without measure

chase perfection
you cannot find
you cannot see
conceit is blind

beauty lies beneath the surface
this is where it serves a purpose
true beauty cannot be seen
known only when in sight is keen

it is found in the good
good is found in the heart
be your self, be organic
truth leads to beauty’s start

to be full is to have with in
if goodness here plays her part
this is that which is beauty full
full of beauty, intrinsic art

This is why
say one should
“It is beautiful
to be good”
