Beauty and Brains

Have you ever wished,
you were in her genes?
Pretty as a picture,
but not what she seems.

Have you ever wished,
you could be that smart?
Ideas overflowing,
with no place to park.

Trying to perfect,
every little part.
Always fighting aging,
hoping for a new start.

Off into trivia,
puzzles and games.
Pushing the formula,
to ever higher gains.

Attracting attention,
with every move.
Using sexual tension,
to a higher groove.

Withdrawing from others,
into your shell.
Perfecting the implements,
for your own kind of hell.

Natural selection,
got you this far.
Store-bought selection,
raises the bar.

No one understands,
who you really are.
Looking for love,
that's always too far.

Because you're a star,
of your own making.
A star so misunderstood,
your heart is breaking.

The contents of "Beauty and Brains" can lead one to understand the meaning between living and pretending to live.

I have enjoyed the reading of an exquisite and edifying poem.

Wisdom and Peace.

Viva the Poet!

March twenty-first is The International Poetry Day.

In reverent appreciation,

Our celebrity culture makes me fear for the future. FAME is not the prize one needs to win.

we all wear the masks be it famous or just ordinary
Only we know what lies beyond the costume and makeup

sad how detached and misunderstood are the thoughts and lives of the beautiful people we have elevated to the status of stars ...

Considering what just happened to Anna Nicole, your write about Bo Derek, Ron, is especially meaningful. You just never know what tomorrow holds, and how what you decide to do today is going to reverberate into the future.

I'm sure that some people will be shocked at what their bad choices will unexpectedly produce.

Light and Wisdom ...

What a timely write, and sadly how tragic the things that some folks strive for, most likely never stopping to enjoy the gifts that come without a pricetag attached! Sandi

It is such a tragedy, Ron. Those of us who live the day-to-day often believe that fame and fortune are all that we would need to find happiness for the rest of our days. Of course, this is not true, happiness and comfort, are gifts that we give to ourself and no amount of money or loving fans can ever do that for us. Well written and timely offering, Ron.
Take care,
Sherry

Poor, poor Beau ...she lost everything she attempted to persue...always just beyond reach. She could be many today.
