Beauty lies...

Two eyes in a cage

gaze onto the world

and they wonder

who is trapped in this case

 

These eyes pry a little crossed

into drabby souls

and they ask

who is the stranger nowadays

 

These eyes in a rage

gape into the dreadful heart

and they ponder

why they're treated abysmally

 

Two eyes now blind-folded

look the other way

and they mask

a distaste of reality

 

Cut out these eyes!

no longer they wish to see

 to feel

nor they wish to wonder

or ponder

they no longer want to ask

and mask

 

'Cos we have two faces

 

one

lost in translation

 

another

lost in decadency

 

but both

lost in the eyes of the beholder
