What are you here to teach me?”

“Beauty Ain't Beauty (The Sonnet)

Beauty is not in the eye of the beholder,
Beauty is in the heart of the beholder.
Eyes have evolved not to perceive beauty,
But to look for a fertile progenitor.
All instincts of beauty are prehistoric,
All impulse of attraction is mere heat.
Such tendency is an act of animal libido,
It has nothing to do with human heartbeat.
If you wanna discover someone's beauty,
You gotta throw the dirt off your heart.
Observe their behavior outside the body,
Only then shall you witness true beauty's path.
Across the vacuum of body lies the valley of beauty.
Defy the vacuum, and you'll realize, beauty is divinity.”

“Melons & Dongles (The Sonnet)

It is one thing to embrace one's imperfections,
But there is nothing empowering in popping melons.
It is one thing to fight for equal pay rights,
Totally another to fight for the freedom of nipples.
On the other side, nobody wants a dongle in their inbox,
Only the dumb and callow care about your greek abs.
Men who are concerned more with grooming than behaving,
Raise a red flag to those with character and heart.
It is one thing to stay healthy through regular workout,
And totally another to worship one's body in the mirror.
All that packaging isn't worth even a confederate bill,
If inside all you have left is stinky narcissistic vapor.
So I say, stay healthy, but embrace your imperfections.
Once the packaging is gone, what'll be your contribution?”
