Faces of Beauty
Posted by
Antony Kamau
the cruelty of beauty
its appeal to greed
lust its deity
and obsession its breed
the wit of beauty
its bait unseen
wile its ingenuity
and skulduggery in between
the poison of beauty
its toxic grandeur
hypnotic its vanity
and overwhelming its splendor
the frailty of beauty
its withering tendency
rotting in its hollow entity
and demise its destiny
