Nice Baba. I like the two lines of the last stanza. "Beauty would 
rather be ugly Than see itself in the mirror." No sense of 
introspection , I guess.

Subject: [G_L] Strange Choices - A Poem

 Strange Choices In a sea of dancing noisesIt is silent like 
yesterdayUnder a sky of blinding lightDarkness rules in blind 
majestyBefore a vision of beautiful futuresHearts recoil at the 
prospect of recognitionMinds choose dark cornersIn which to hide to 
escapeGazing upon the path of rightEyes bury their knowing headsIn the 
blinding sands of denialBeauty would rather be uglyThan see itself in 
the mirror.  - Baba
