As Lovely Mannequins

Iconoclastic lots of marshiest beauty Clenched sublime altruistic nature bore – Morals indefatigably humbled, reasoning in bondage – Bondage of the highest periphery Blessings encountered in watered chaos. Blocked nuts with scanty feelers, Inducing mere bouts of euphoric impasses Rarely a gift of fatherly nature. Hay filled tubs called but heads Preferably a misfortune To their worthless masses. Maevius a reader’s delight be In the fumbling fold Of this rowdy rendezvous. More ore less classy oddities On deferred pedestals As lovely Mannequins To display for sale. Now Hyperion his burning sword behold None to hear Triton’s call to arms.

This is a brilliant, albeit an enigmatic poem, but that's where it gets its charm and layered wording from. Our society indeed seems to value external appearance over internal substance but that's just one facet of this masterpiece. The criticism of mass culture and objectification enforced on us by the very roots of our supposed connection to people is potent, and a welcome harsh reminder. I love this poem; a definite fav.
