Beauty & The Beast Poem by NikHil Mukhija

I grew up hearing “beauty is a devil”,
That breeds all the rest of evil!
People get biased, & weigh it above all,
When we talk about the heart’s call!
It is always ignored & made to fall,
Even though we know they gonna hurt us sometime,
Yet waving off the inner voice, we tune in to their Rhyme,
I used to wonder, how can it be so,
Considering not all can fall into the same Row!
Following proverbs are we hear & grow up,
“Beauty is only skin deep,
Beauty is in the eye of beholder”
But when need to abide by, we claim- This is Not my Cup!
We say we are unbiased, We don’t get much Influenced,
Whereas in actual we all know, at mere a seconds glance, our hearts get Fenced!
But seems like I was wrong, They all are good at pretending,
Advocating the ideal Quotes, but doing all the Fake spending!
The 1 who got the beauty, doesn’t just charms the eye,
What I observed, they also managed to get Our hearts Sigh!
& then there is a conflict within our mind,1 side in favour,
& the other Revolting against The Fine & in the end It’s the pretty who gets to savor!
Surprised looking around, when people literally Dance,
Now this is a venom, which takes even the wiser In a Trance!
No matter how Clear 1 is, how strong willed he is,
Somewhere in the middle even his decision are in a Fizz!
We say, it’s short lived, & it will soon be gone,
But the question arises, till that time, a beautiful life they had already on their own!
So how does it matter anyways, if after 30 they too lead a normal life,
Since they already got so much which reduced an original normal Strife!
& All this is god damn due to our sick mentality, who is weak & falls as a prey,
I plead to god, to wipe away this Humanity’s fray!
