The Ephemeral Nature Of Youthful Beauty

We forget to remember, to remember it is fitful

Meticulously treating it in the vein of being fruitful

Wanted by all at the expense of ourselves and the world

Merely seeing the fact in inner beauty and the Word 

 

But why, why is our flesh considered more vital than our hearts?

Polishing our nails more gorgeously than our hearts,

Disregarding that our hearts forever determine our irrevocable destination

Taking solidity in our appearance rather than who we really are  

 

Using the outer shell of individuals to classify them is the new normal

Those who are more anxious of broadening their horizon

and not embroidering their clothes, are said to be bizarre

Impacting on others by fixing our hair and not our hearts, we say

But, God cannot be deceived by looks like man is 

Youthful beauty, appearing more blissful than every other thing

Hasn’t and can it ever lead to pleasurable eternity

Forever our inner shell overshadows the outer shell

Believe; believe today that the ephemeral nature of youthful beauty is undying!
