LOOK INSIDE

you must look beneath the surface
you must open up the book
you truly need more than your eyes
to get a closer look

when you are choosing partners
you had better play it smart
its not their body's shape
it is the room within their heart

yes, beauty's often cherished
and society holds sway
but peer beneath the paint
there's more important things to weigh

is there passion in their bloodstream ?
is there laughter in their eyes ?
or a dull though lovely portrait
that is hung there in disguise ?

will they be a constant worry
or be thoughtful, sweet and kind ?
its not their body's size
it is the wonders of their mind

when we're done with life's strange novel
and we've reached the final page
with our bodies in rebellion
and our faces lined with age

all we're left with is our spirit
and the memories of yore
and that's the separation
'tween the wealthy and the poor

so look inside those outer walls
of those, there's no control
its not their body's flesh
it is their purity of soul
