WHERE LIES YOUR BEAUTY?
Your arrival came with joy
To hearts of many
Who rejoiced and merried
To welcome your innocency
Your growth was the responsibility
Of them who act the transit
From the Creator through the world
Back to the sender
Your care was by them
So they share the shear
To butter your skin
And cut a shape
On your bushy head
Where lies your good looks
When all you do
Is toning on the wheels of pills?

Where lies your good looks
When the desire for foreign skin
Turns pomades of toxicity
Into your skin’s food?
Where lies your beauty
When chemicals of powder
Serves paint to your natural face?
Where lies your beauty
Of natural origin
When your head
Has become home for treated hair
From the foreign land?
Where lies your good looks?
Where?
Where lies your beautiful good looks
Endowed from nature
With ivories of perfect love?
Where lies your good looks?
When your skin
Answers to the rainbow as its first name
When the madness of head hitting
And periodic scratching
Bond in love with your hand?
Where lies your beauty?
