Tailormade Lies

Viral discontent that spores through the veil of deceit & denial fabricating the shroud of pins, needles, scissors & surplus supplies masquerading beneath the patterns, stamped, sealed and sown in clothes horsing the anti bodies and scar tissue acting as shoulder pads worn as the emperor out on display with obvious disdain mimicked by ladies in waiting feigning temptuous trends the textures patterns designated by design dated fashion to embrace forgive flatter enhance all injustices this illness manifests conjures and completes travelling to all ends of fortune and fame spreading the anti bodies hiding in plain site the tailor dressmaker stitch sew such spewed out sin transcending decades delivering no defeat the unspoken words and gaudy gestures kept blindfolded by the web of lies that tell no true tales the secrets stories sewn stitched up in time the thoughts, motion all seeing eyes blinded arc eyed stored in the hangers of our minds motionless without mate population protected performances waging the seams machine driven medicated oblivion tarnished truths the legends of lines unspoken go unnoticed the lies that linger in plain site decoratively embellished ironed out of plain site denied featuring only in fictional fables in shortened hems rolled up in pipe dreams starched to stand up tall to swirl like skirts collared in only by the cuffs twisted like stoic buttons steadfast soldiers at attention rinsed washed neatly pressed ready to be worn again
