beautiful people
Beautiful people may well know defeat,
And suffering, and struggle, and sheer loss,
But they will find their way out of the depths.
These people can appreciate and beat
An understanding of life, that may toss
Compassion in with tears which, yes, once slept.
As does a gentle, deep loving, replete
With sensitivity; concerns at cost
Are put in place: impossibly bereft.
The idea of a humane world may seat
The warring parties, who have raped and crossed
Their Rubicon, with pain so unexpressed.
These people do not happen. They are made
From suffering and hands so overplayed.
