Some Set Of Questions For Beauty.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

it is such a beauty,
many are amazed
many idolized what
is beauty all about,
talk of the town
this model, this
epitome of
godly beauty and
perhaps
even wisdom,

the picture is dated
march 5,1934

and you wonder where is
this epitome of
beauty now?
what is its looks?

darn,
loose, crumpled skin
too much hair loss,
toothless,
furrowed brows
darn
dark sunken eyes
like holes
where crabs live

what beauty was there before
is gone

are you arrogant still?
did you fill your mind with so much pride?
