A Model Perspective of the Perversion of Life

A MODEL PERSPECTIVE OF THE PERVERSION OF LIFE (Apropos Models on Parade) Mocking humanity and the children of death— Hunger and starvation— Her frail skeletal frame of a body Wrapped in cloths of richness of life, Strode and glided across the flushed runway. As she faded away like smoke of a dying fire, Thunderous applauds echoed throughout. Across the parched desert-like clods, bloated bellies Wearily trek alone the barren trail that seems to lead nowhere; Overhead, winged angels of death glide to and fro—patiently. Dry winds echo over the exodus of the walking dead. Strange how the rich pervert starvation and parade themselves To a distorted mocking beauty of lush living; While bloated bellies are fatal victims of starvation’s perversity: Shamelessly paraded as “Breaking News!”
