There's so much praise and adoration,
Plaguing those across the nation.
But I can see what's behind that pained face:
Just rotted meat packed on a scorned disgrace.

Oh, what a wretched situation,
When to not be flawless breeds condemnation.
But when they're gone they won't leave a trace,
Just flesh-toned pastels and overpriced lace.

We must finally see there's no correlation,
'Tween real beauty and commercialization.
There might actually be hope for social grace,
When we all can see behind that painted face.
My dear friend Gianna offered me a theme in my time of need (gotta hate those moments when the drive to write is there, but there's no foundation in mind). Anyway, fake beauty/false reality offered up in a playful AABB scheme.

Enjoy ^_^
