Ugly is not pretty But no one is ugly Condition may be ugly Everyone is beautiful They may not feel it Because they have been repressed Don’t look in the mirror Do not overdo defiance You have a make up When beat down one day You rise with integrity the next Let no one control your emotion Never give them the power The race is not over Because the starting wasn’t fair The privileged often collapse They do not have the ability to sustain Did not condition properly Did not have to because Everything was given to them A rough beginning is one you honor It is like a deity you serve Each day it makes you stronger And find a chord for a new song You know you will soar without drugs You keep taking the steps Always with your goal in mind Do not forget the real Deity He should play an important role Your go to for all things He is there for you Ask and you shall receive On his terms of course What do you do about ugly? Look in front of you and act; chink away Little by little you become king You become the man Teach others how to soar In a blue sky or a cloudy one We must manifest our truth Never be willing to give up Or quit before completing You have earned your gifts Use them wisely, my friend Sing the chords you know Others will sing with you Stanski March 7, 2021 ^
