CALCULATED BEAUTY

CALCULATED BEAUTY

What equation rules the mind

and creates beauty as it seeks to find

the perfect formula for an attractive design?

We do the math in hearts, not minds.

Not by calculation, but by satisfaction we find

what makes us happy, what makes us smile.

We then relax all concentration,

and simply relish each occasion

such unspoken math implies.

Beauty fills our deepest self and widest eyes.

We see the beauteous truth, rejecting ugly lies.

Chaos is not beautiful, nor pleasant to behold.

It ages quickly hearts and souls made old and cold.

Chaos lacks the symmetry of perfect geometry

which settles, comforts and controls thoughts

twisted into ugly shapes of those distraught

lying right before our eyes.

No words dictated as order can still our unease.

Chaos spreads like a demented disease

to overcome us with such speed

we are unable to restrain or contain 

the unholy, arrogant and ugly pain

of a world lacking the means to create a straight path

to a stable place of constancy where beauty reigns.

Make beauty come alive. Do the math.
