Beauty
‘You were brainwashed
Into thinking
The white European model
Is the standard of beauty’
No
Beauty lies within the breasts
The belly
The hips
And all these pale in comparison
To the eyes
And the lips
But even more
As only the wise know
Beauty is fleeting
It is but a moment
And is the first to go
So you must seek
The beauty within the soul
And if you find a life long love
Then you’ve a wealth
Beyond the only riches
That most men know
Into thinking
The white European model
Is the standard of beauty’
No
Beauty lies within the breasts
The belly
The hips
And all these pale in comparison
To the eyes
And the lips
But even more
As only the wise know
Beauty is fleeting
It is but a moment
And is the first to go
So you must seek
The beauty within the soul
And if you find a life long love
Then you’ve a wealth
Beyond the only riches
That most men know

nice use of rhythm, like in this stanza, which starts out as a nice iambic foot, then gathers momentum, and then regains control by the end:
But even more
As only the wise know
Beauty is fleeting
It is but a moment
And is the first to go
But even more
As only the wise know
Beauty is fleeting
It is but a moment
And is the first to go
