THE ILLUSION OF BEAUTY

Although you have no special
beauty of feature, yet it is pos
sible for you to create the illus
ion of beauty. You may do this
in several ways; the manner, the
smile, the eyes, the voice, a
scarf, fan, any one of these
aids may create for you the il
lSion of beauty Some of the
most celebrated women of the
world we're considered beauties
in their time and yet they we're
not really beautiful, they only
made you think them beautiful,
If you are not a beauty born,
try the illusion of beauty way.

I feel the pounding rhythm, hear
the hum
Of huge machinery drawing out
the brass
Into the shape Of death. In years
to come
I shall remember this.
Incredible that each small metal
shell
Should hold a deadly menace at
its core;
That harmless steel and powder
mix so well,
In instruments of war.
Night after night, in spite of noise
and strain,
I mold the fire for some blazing

And pray that out of all this grief
and pain,
A lasting peace is won.

ORIGIN

l came from q town Of which am proud,
All trains didn't stop but they whistled loud,
But I've heard folks say in Georgia drawl:
"Why, sub, I've always lived in Saint Paul."
I've lived in log house and had times hard
With old oaken plumbing in the rear Of the yard,
Such the with the nouveau richie,
Who came to Saint Paul from Chitterlin' Switch
I remember q cottage far back in a grove,
Kerosene lamps and a coaland-wood stove
So laugh when hear these electrified jokers
From Ham-Fat who can't recall not having stokers
The house Of my childhood was not weatherproof,
Wind whistled in, rain came through the roof;
But Possum Trot folks with large chest expansions
Always declare they were born in great mansions.
Much of my youth with denial was fashioned,
No meat on Tuesday, don't mean it was rationed,
But some Giles County folks now in big shot role
Say they cut their first teeth on flet Of sole.
There none Of my kin in the Mayfower crowd,
My ancestors chopped cotton, labored and plowed
But it's surprising to meet much old Boston Stock
Who sound Mississippi, but claim Plymouth Rock
