Beautiful People

I see them everywhere

Everywhere it seems

The beautiful people

Caught between the seams

In the cracks

Lodged hard and deep

Just waiting for someone

To take a quick peek

To look a little harder

At the beauty not seen

Those beautiful people

With beautiful dreams

Dreams no one imagined

Except for these down here

Those beautiful creatures

That no one will hear

No one will listen

And who can blame them

Why be bothered

You never could tame them

So, pass beauty by

And the dreams they carry

Go on your way

Just be merry

Don’t look to the cracks

Or the seams where they reside

Just go one your way

Pass them right by

But one day you’ll pause

Instead of forward, look up

And see you’re the beauty

That is down in the muck
