THIS NAKED WORLD

This naked world
So stripped,so strange.
This nuded world
So wrong, so manged.

This naked world
Unproperly dressed,
Begging for clothes
To cover its mess.

This naked world
With costumed lies,
Hear falsehoods singing
As truth just cries.

Those naked graves
Where no flowers sit
Keep corpes of love
From unchanged writs.

Those naked souls
Burning in fire,
From selfishness
And lust’s desires.

That naked man
Looking for modesty,
Finds a naked woman
Who’s a commodity.

Those naked faces
Cosmetics not,
Reveal true beauty
That’s long forgot.
