A Brief History of Beauty and a Plea to Her

All people were beautiful once, until we started to ask why,
Then the haze was new, since we learned to use our eyes.
Judges, self-righteously choosing standards, only served to separate.
When we were beautiful, we were together: a massive conglomerate.
But now, full of scorn, we backstab and chase lofty ideals
And are scared and shocked to find we’ve forgotten how to feel.

Ugly is word of serious connotation,
And is a weapon of sure destruction
When it’s used to further separation.

Beauty please come back, we can learn to hide
Those dastardly lies created in our eyes,
Just open the skies and rain a little fire down,
Burn us back into huddled masses
And bury the haze back in the death charred ground.
