Beauty's Vanity and Worthlessness

Beauty's Vanity and Worthlessness

A Poem by Joseph C Ogbonna
"

Beauty is like a Flower. It blossoms for a while and fades forever.

"
Though I style my curly braids with ribbons bright, 
and colour my sweet moist lips with royal red
to look as bright and fair as a newly wed.
Though I stand on two towers to get a better height, 
with eyelashes that beckon at each gazer.
Though my trendy gowns make me a trailblazer
with great designer labels that distinguish.
Though I have curves which men wished they could relish, 
revealed slightly through my scantily clad frame.
Though I have this charm which could hardened hearts tame, 
making vicious criminals to dream and lust, 
still I am nothing more than organic dust.
