Analysis of Lessons...



Looks fade away - personality is forever,
To understand this you don't have to be clever.
Yet this world is built on what we see,
It must be true we're as blind as can be.
This world is so shallow, yes it's true,
Love is in the heart - don't we have a clue?
Looks are like metal, both will soon rust,
When the rains come down who will you trust?
With your looks gone what have you got,
A cold hearted person that time has now forgot.
Personality is more important I honestly feel,
It's who you really are - It's what's real.
Never look down on someone for who they are,
We're all in our own way a shining star.
So don't judge a book by it's cover - Nope I say never,
Looks fade away - Personality is forever.
