The Soapbox Speech

Here I stand on my soapbox, ready to spew and spout.

There's a problem with the human race, that I want to speak about.

They portray "A look, a trend, a fashion" as something beautiful.

They disregard the soul of a person, and that is pitiful.

Beauty consists of many things, not just a "pretty face".

Like kindness, sincerity, and trust; qualities you can't replace.

A touch, a smell, and a smile make a person so valuable.

Not any of that cosmetic silicone junk that makes your body malleable.

Tenderness of heart, and purity of soul. Things a beautiful person contains.

Not vanity, fame, or glamour as the advertiser claims.

Beauty comes in many shapes, colours, and sizes.

But if you aren't a "perfect ten!" Why is it you that society despises?

What is the world coming to where people are so vain?

Don't they realize that in ignorance, they are causing soo much pain?

Here I stand shaking my finger at the people who are so blind.

Beauty is everywhere, in every person, just open your dumb mind.

Beauty is the creation of a child.

Beauty is staring at the creatures of the wild.

Beauty is in every place.

Beauty is in every face.

Beauty is found in every body part.

Beauty is found by those with a HEART.
