Beautiful Woman

"What is beautiful about a woman?"

I asked history.

And he said:

Juno Lucina

The miracle of birth.

 

"What is beautiful about a woman?"

I asked language.

And he said:

Mami, Morsa,

White flower, white dress.

 

"What is beautiful about a woman?"

I asked society.

And he said:

She is the good little mother

That I ask her to be.

 

When they say beauty is on the inside,

Did they mean in the ovaries?

Why is there beauty where babies are made,

But not in the woman that made them?

If she behaves like the perfect, practiced wife

The world cheers along.

But what about her,

Is she beauty alone?

"What is beautiful about a woman?"

I asked art.

"She is beauty,

She is beauty,

She is beauty", she said.
