Why is it that we murder?
Why do we lie, cheat and steal?
Why are we so concerned with looks?
Obsessed with sex appeal

We focus on the outside
And leave our insides to rot
Instead of helping out the poor
Better looks is what we sought.

The author's comments:
I wrote this focusing on teens now a days, who are so concerned with their looks that they forget who they really are on the inside.
