A Dyed Flower and a Simulated Gemstone

a dyed flower is like a simulated gemstone
they are unnatural,
unfounded, rather orchestrated,
unnaturally pretty, 
prettier than the natural 
flowers and the natural gemstones
people are sometimes like this,
unnatural, unfounded, rather orchestrated,
prettier than the natural people.
They are real, just in a better way,
easier to appreciate and love

Thank you. I was just sitting, staring at a writing prompt and BAM it hit me!
