Beauty is only skin deep,
At least that's what they say.
Whoever said that must have been asleep.
Because that is not how it is today.
We are judged by the colour of our skin,
And all that is outside.
We are not judged by what is within,
We are obsessed with foolish pride.
We think we are better than the other,
But in truth we are the same.
We must learn to live together,
And peacefully live in the world of today.

Poetry: Natural beauty
The dream into the imagination of man,
Bring us to unknown worlds of great distances,
Unlike our very own and to wondrous
Reaching my hands up to the sky,
Blocking the sun from your eye.
Giving warmth from the cold,
Offering something strong to
I sat upon the seawall
its haunches
weathered grey
and marveled at the August sun
which bore a golden ray
The screeching seagulls
played
Beautiful you!
What is natural beauty? Is it the pictures that we canvas in our mind?
Is it the perfection that comes from
DAWNWATCH
First a hint
and then a glimmer
drifting across a slow sky-
Dawn begins. A tint
dyeing the stars to dimmer
points
