Absence of Virtue

Style

        Texture

                    Shape

                             And grace

They put the smiles on your face

                              Brown and

                   Green and

      Blue and

Grey

Eyes like that just make your day

Curly

       Wavy

*****

     Straight

You love all that, you think it's fate

                   Curvy

              Skinny

          Thin

Or not

Who cares about heart, you think she's hot.

 

Yet talent

   Skill

Passion

   Love

They're the things that life's made of.

Caring

                            Giving

                                                 Loving

                 Heart

They bring us together, not apart.

  Spirit

   Strength

    Sensitivity

Faith

Someone like that will keep you safe.

 

But money

Fashion

***

And greed

Those aren't things for which we were freed.
