Fooled Again

Perfect faces, perfect places.
Flaws not seen.
Perfection on the outside,
Can hide much behind the screen.

So sad that people go for outside beauty so quickly isn't it?

True Shirley, many things behind the scenes aren't quite as lovely as they appear on the exterior. Thanks for your visit to my page.

I seem to be more aware of this as time goes on, sadly. Thank you, Lasaad for your kind comments.

Especially if the orange face is wearing an orange suit...

This seems to be more evident these days. I do not want to think this way but it is glaringly obvious.
