Artificial Beauty

Rare, natural, unblemished, lasting and profound Beauty is penned, defined and crooned From poets, authors, artist and strangers Described in depth, penned to death, Setting standards unreachable by the masses. Products slathered, potions swallowed, scalpels wielded Suctioned and enhanced to have a chance In a world so small minded and superficial Seeking an approved, natural look From the very masses that sit in self help classes. Time creeps up, with gravities silent pull Stripping the unnatural lifts, tucks and additions Gone are the showpieces, the odes of the poet Forgotten by the masses attending their classes Artificial beauty, behind walls free of mirrored glasses.
