If My Hand were a Phantom's Hand

If my hand were a phantom's hand,
would your eyes be coated with gray sagacity?
Will I live to see the day
where we find our own opinionated capacity?
If my eyes were a phantom's eyes,
would you not look at me?
But my eyes are a phantom's eyes.
Have yours changed now,
completely?
If my lips were a phantom's lips,
would you not let me sing the anthem?
If you'll judge me by my lack of beauty,
then please, call me Phantom.
Why do most look only skin deep?
It is just vanity.
I've never known more vain than humanity.

Great Poem!

I am very quick to judge. I make sport out of reading peoples personalities. In as little as 5 min I usually make an assessment of someone based on posture, fashion, facial expression, and behavior.... all things observed from the outside. All things that could be categorized as "looks". More times than not, my assessments are accurate. The way we present ourselves gives signals to others of who we are and what we emphasis. Some people just don't know what to look for.

I agree. Most people don't

I agree. Most people don't know what to look for. But I am talkking strictly about beauty in this poem.
