Always On Display

A queen of the magazine layout for dreams,
Lady with the looks, they all want to see.
Wherever she goes they stop and stare it seems.
Angelic face, perfect smile, looking at thee,
Yes she seems happy, is it now, in some degree.
See her life, is always on display, for us to see.

One dream, for life, or until another comes along,
Nearer or farther from happiness, is this wrong.

Don’t you see behind the perfect smile that gleams?
Intimate details shown for profit not reality,
Social discloser, we live in fantasy dreams.
Pain, discomfort, so hidden in emerald eyes,
Looker, she is titled, a beautiful glitter anomaly. 
Aberration, for all to aspire to become, in lies,
Yes, she’s a looker, always on display, not free.

Yes, high maintence ladies... I saw a special on Tommy Lee from guns and roses... he was married to several beautiful ladies...he is such a drug addict womanizer and I think how does he dupe them? It is so crazy to me.

Profound take on the possible plight of woman. Thanks for your comments on my blog! "if there is not anything hereafter there would be no reason to learn lessons or rules," though I think there is a hereafter (matter is neither created nor destroyed, it just changes shape) life is meant for an exploration of the sensory. Going from the body, lessons learned in the body will have no revavence. We will be encorporal? Perhaps if we become "one" there will not even be an us? or an ego?
