the soft light
made
by the jingle jangle of chandeliers
is hiding the fact
that the crystals are plastic
not glass

the red carpeted halls in rich silver
are synthetic
and painted


the people who sing
are so obviously
pre-recorded
lip-singers

..that the sound is ugly



the majestic
queen
wears a great crown

made of tin and rocky road



and as the jester steps down
with his grin made of real malice

the beauty you cast
is the reason
why everything

else

looks


...fake
