Pity the Beautiful

Main Idea
Why this poem?
Pity the Beautiful- Dana Gioia
the dolls, and the dishes,
the babes with big daddies
granting their wishes
Pity the pretty boys,
the hunks, and Apollos,
the golden lads whom
success always follows.
The hotties, the knock-outs,
the tens out of ten,
the drop dead gorgeous,
the great leading men.
Pity the faded,
the bloated, the blowzy,
the paunchy Adonis
whose luck's gone lousy.
Pity the gods,
no longer divine.
Pity the night
the stars lose their shine.
The Beauty in Ugly- Jason Mraz
But not so remarkable
Just an ordinary humble girl
Expecting nothing as we're made to think
Its a pretty persons world
But you are beautiful
And you better go show it
So go look again
You gotta be true to your own
If you really wanna go to the top
Do you really wanna win
Don't believe in leaving normal
Just to satisfy demand
We'll if you wanna get free
And if you wanna do the passionate thing
And if you wanna get smart
For the sake of your heart and all
You should own your name
And stand up tall and get real
And see the beauty in ugly
We'll you are fresh
Your face is fabulous
Don't forget you're one of a kind
When nobody's checking the deeds you've done
And nobody's hearing your cries
You make all the fashion statements
Just by dressing up your mind
We'll if you wanna get free
And if you wanna do the passionate thing
And if you wanna get smart
For the sake of your heart and all
You should own your name
And stand up tall and get real
And see the beauty in ugly
And see the beauty in ugly
We'll if you wanna get free
And if you wanna do the passionate thing
And if you wanna get smart
For the sake of your heart and all
You should own your name
And stand up tall and get real
And see the beauty in ugly
And see the beauty in ugly
Song-Poem Connection
Original Poem- Devin Cooley
are torn and tattered
not judged by their looks
its the inside that matters
People are tricky
that's something I've gathered
on the outside they're pretty
on the inside they're shattered
Not everyone is corrupt
we all have potential
beauty is nice, but
the heart is essential
