by binary adjustment an
image to
program vanity’s conformity.
youth poisoned,
a child’s self-worth corrupted,
advertisement’s teaching destructive.

fruition; *******,
giving birth to
a blanket of poverty—
a blanket of

buried in the sands of self-deception.

this race,
creation’s self appointed kings;
demand to see but
refuse to witness our own
hideous reflection.

something to deplore;
leaving no shortage of souls
in the devil’s department store.
