Absurdity

ABSURDITY



We are absurdly inconsistent and get our values wrong.
Why do men scorn women’s false eyelashes long?
And shameless  implant  boobs  may cause a song
And dance,  but no one scorns false teeth  -  they belong
In respectful company.   As do prosthetic  feet or fists.  
Reminds me of  the superiority of  the old racists:	
Uber-people  put metal rings on ears and  wrists,  
Unter-people put rings through their noses with twists.
