As she writes in day or moonlight She contemplates definitions Finding the figures televised Are not models, but a condition For the dead, it seems have become the dream That man aim to worship and infatuate over And this she find, as a woman, a girl Is what's infecting the world like fever
Pale skin so white opposes the sight Of her freckled, pinkly complexion Vain within those whose malnutriton Are posted as pure perfection Lips of red the of which the dead Show the blood that once flowed through vein As Death runs his fingers through limp hair The word "beauty” writhing in pain
And this, to the world, she also be the girl The woman's aspiration, all in all? This should be instead of true form A copy, a replica, a doll? To lie with each breath, beauty wrapped in death To please mankind in sights of its end Is a plight, in day or moonlight She cannot and will not defend
