Hair Is Overrated

Hair is overrated,
All too often degraded,
Curled and straightened
Until its luster has faded.
We cut it,
Shape it,
Color it,
And strip it
Of its beauty,
Of Its curls,
And natural swirls.
And as we age
We scream and rage
When our hair thins out.
We cringe and shout.
For what?
A mop?
A top?
Please stop!
As we grow older,
Our minds grow bolder
As hair falls off our shoulder
Because we don't need it any longer.
God gave us beautiful heads.
When we were born
Our heads looked already shorn
Because they were already
Beautiful
Without the hair.
