appearances appearances appearances we aren’t what we seem, are we? but we are what we seem aren’t we? how would you know about the drug-takers, the child-rapists, the murderers, the doctors, the racists, the writers, the sports-fan, the obese, the rage-filled, the hateless, if they didn’t tell you? what are they but average joes until they go rob a bank or paint a master- piece? even the very perfect, like the president or your babysitter, is probably hiding something maybe they’re a *** addict or a pill-popper or a communist but if you look at them and see a good little child or a perfect example of human being I highly doubt that’s what they really are I say this simply because people are not perfect but society refuses to let them be their misshapen selves so we hide it, like all good things, and pretend like we have no idea what they’re talking about when somebody makes fun of our favorite geeky tv show and that’s us all appearances all lies all that we know
