BEAUTY
Sally Audrey 2004 (Ghana)
Beauty is not for sale
Beauty can therefore not be bought
Every age has its beauty
Beauty is like a flower
It depends on who is looking
Your beauty depends on
Many factors
Not just on little matters
Usefulness is better
Than mere beauty
Therefore never boast
About your own beauty
For it can lead you
To destruction
