Beautiful or Ugly

Reality is ugly 

Affirmed with every 

Innocent cry of pain and destitution 

From wounds in overt and covert wars

Perhaps in the mind

Perhaps in the surrounding society 

Deep seats fears 

Hatred and vindictiveness 

Ugly driving forces

Consolidated by generational

Indoctrinations

And medias’ unforgivable trends

Repeated through history 

Where is the beginning?

Where is the end?

Flip the coin

And bear witness 

To strength and a kindness

Revealing unimaginable 

Selflessness, courage

Generosity 

The many helping hands 

Not nations

But singular persons

Reaching out 

Risking their own lives

Listening to the call

Of consciousness 

Righteousness

Their humanity’s voice 

So is reality 

Ugly or 

Beautiful?

With the founding factors

All within 

Each and every human

What is your reality

Ugly or 

Beautiful?

Despite the circumstances 

What are you nurturing

Do you even know you can make the choice!

  1. Fear is what they want society feel to accentuate their programming a little at a time. We do live in a nasty real if we see it that way and there is such beauty as well. Joy and sorrow entertwine in life it is part of life on this planet. I hope you are well sending you healing.
