Ethical Cosmetics

The dictatorship of our state is profound in its mass propaganda, where the discernment of individuals seeps into an eternal chasm of self-sacrifice on the altar of political conformity. Let us actively withstand the passivity of our conventional hypocrisy as we engage with this ontological sleepwalk through sinister passageways of presumed social advancement. In our age of grandiose moralistic eclecticism where imperatives abound, I burn incense and contemplate the cosmopolitan artificiality which lavishes abundant gifts upon our self-opinion. Criminality is the result of discovery. So, oh thorn in my flesh, cover those rancid corpses by the veil of popularity, gain and pleasure. Subconscious social conditioning is the scourge of lustful appearance, don’t you think?
