Are We Blinded?

Do we really look at one another?

“Of course.”

Do we?

Really?

“Yeah?”

I don’t think so.

If you come to think of it,

There is really no such thing as physical beauty.

A thing can’t be beautiful,

Without a mind to appreciate it.

But are we starting to grow unseeing?

Are we mocking the truth?

Are we simply not spotting the true beauty in this world?

The true beauty isn’t our looks,

I think,

But our minds.

Those who discover that beauty.

But then 

What is ugly?

What have even prompted that way of thinking?

Ugly.

Why do we live with those kinds of minds?

Maybe…

Maybe it was the first Blinds,

Those with the minds in pain,

That invented that word,

That feeling…

And then later,

When they had convinced themselves,

They filled the Seeing’s minds with that same acid of ugly.

Maybe…

Are we all starting to lose our sight?

Because of that poisonous acid?

Are we all starting to overlook the beauty,

In our search for the made-up ugly?

I love this poem. I agree with you throughout this poem. The message is clear. I believe everyone is beautiful in their own way. Their is no such thing as ugly in this world besides the violence... but other than that everything is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Real beauty is for the lucky and wise to know. Sometime outer beauty can hide the truth. Take time and friendship to really see a person for who and what they are. Thank you for the poem. I appreciate the poetry that make the old mind work. A excellent poem.
