Vanity Nemesis

Within the mendicant monolithic mirror
The fraudulent faces that are never nearer
For in the whimsical wonderland of Alice
Parasitic pretenders in the pompous palace

As we listen to the pretentious preachers
We give long life to the loveless leechers
For the masking mirrors regrettably reflect
Flamboyant fantasies of life’s nemesis neglect.

Lin Lane Date: 7/12/2017 6:57:00 PM I love so many of these phrases, "parasitic pretenders, loveless lechers," The use of alliteration makes them more applicable. A bulls eye, my winged friend. Login to Reply
