Fair Face,Foul Face



fair face,foul face;faces of flesh
flash and flush in every ways!
some put veils;some put grins and smiles
masks and powder on the faces of flesh
to deceive beauty,to draw and subdue x
faces,faces,faces of flesh
black,white,red,and hazel
women`s faces are women`s fuel
by which they flare the fires of males
fair face,foul face
faces of flesh
some are innocent;some are villians
flesh and face;face and flesh face each other
not to fight
but to feast on each other enjoins!!!
