Face For Sale Poem by Afzal Shauq
Face For Sale
If only
by some chance
I had an idea
that I will lose my own face one day
in search of an ideal face
I would have never
displayed my being
in the show room
of this material world
for sale

Instead of searching for an ideal, one could learn to accept onself as good enough person and achieve one's best. A lovley thoughtful short poem.
