How is beauty determined
How do we living, breathing
Essentially retreating
Humans
How do we determine beauty
Be beauty no more than the lush vibrant mixtures of paint and chemicals hiding self perceived blemishes and
Imperfections
Be beauty as temporary as the fleeting seconds of a fire painted canvas in the evening or the counted days
Of a flower's blood stained satin petals
How is beauty defined
Something which it's colour, shape, or attributes are aesthetically pleasing
But the use of the word beauty is drastically decreasing
Searched and spoken almost 50% less than in the 1880s
Replaced by abbreviated catch phrases such as 'lit' and 'sick'
I don't know if there is some kind of trick but I highly doubt anyone looks visually appealing
When they're stuck at home; sick
How are we to judge beauty
A word whose dictionary definition can't even seem to cover the scope
Of how large this word is
Like a rainbow of every imaginable colour, flexed across the sky without a visible end or beginning
The perfect example of the nations' people and cultures
Blending in a harmony of wonder
That
That is truly beautiful
