Veneers

change
looking
good today,
ideas  come-
then
go
manners
and customs
fashioned in new
clothes
soon
grow old-
as human
nature changeless
stays

Awesome write. Thought provoking too, as sometimes that is a good thing and other times it is not, depending on the person. So true. Love, Shar

You are so right! Human nature is very fickle, but the one thing that stays the same, is human beings always want something new. Great writing! Fondly, Carrie
