Beauty or Beast?

by Hanif Kanjer

Animals sacrificed to satiate plebeian desires,

Perfumes, after shaves, mink and leather
Embellished to adduce covetous gleam

Alas! what eyes can see -
The beauty on the body,
Do they see the "GRAVEYARDS" within?

A rabbit's agony in the luscious hair *
A ewe's child in the soft fur hat **
A dead deer in the manly musk ***

Is this all what beauty is about?

Barbarians and Sadists are souls, indeed
that for glamour and lust
bring all wild life to dust.
