Beauty

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder
I saw her beauty before I held her,
But the blindness of society holds her
Defining what’s pretty
In another’s eyes that’s ugly
Discriminatory,
Too black, too fat,
Nose too wide and too flat,
Body type don’t fit the stats
Hair too nappy, cut your locks
Delilah, the best liar,
To fit in, silicone gets stuffed in,
There’s a ban on plastic so what you still doing,
Now beauty is extremely thick or extremely thin
Depending from which angle you’re looking
Or how tight the clothing,
For those who want revealing
And those in need of fluff concealing
Calling it toning
Pitch Black turn browning and still transitioning
Clorox for bleaching, Colgate for whitening, turmeric for coloring
Hiding from the sun, no melanin
Depleting the pigment in their skin
What’s happening
If beauty is in the eye of the beholder
What is the beholder’s definition of beauty and what is he beholding…
Does the beholder need glasses to correct the blurred vision of beauty that he’s seeing
Why tamper with a masterpiece,
God’s creation and in my heart I know he’s pleased,
So why modify the beauty I am to please mere mortal beings.
