What’s The Use Of…?

What’s the use of immense beauty When beauty isn’t even skin-deep? What’s the use of one’s intellect When from vices, you cannot keep? What’s the use of a newer dress When moths have made their ugly holes? What’s the use of your earthly life When goes amiss your heaven’s goal? What’s the use of amassing wealth When there’s no peace and love at home? What’s the use of your body’s skin When in winter, you can’t keep warm? What’s the use of knowledge profound When good character, it can’t mould? What’s the use of siblings many When hatred grows while all grow old? What’s the use of achievements tall When love you cannot your neighbor? What’s the use of medals, trophies, When heart and mind can’t be kept pure? What’s the use of reaching the moor When wearied by walk in hot sun? What’s the use of discoveries When Nature’s furies stay with man? What’s the use of science and research When you can’t move closer to God? What’s the use of God’s endless love When you can’t reach Maker’s Abode?
