Welcome To the Fake World
Welcome,
To the fake world,
Enjoy,
The breath - taking nature,
Rubber trees,
With fragrance - free leaves,
All kinds of immortal flowers,
Dipped in all colors of paint, and eternal shine,
Here, grab a magical brush,
Draw on a fake smile,
Walk around, with the fake crowd,
A crowd as fake as you,
Look around...
Fake plastic lovers,
With hearts cut out of red gift wrappings,
Arms of gorgeous mannequins,
That reach out to hold you,
Embrace you,
And chill you to the bone,
Look around...
Fake gleaming mirrors,
That only show the reflection of,
Outer beauty,
Have a drink,
Cheap champagne or cancerous cocktail?
Watch them, crown the fake queen,
With a glittery tiara made of artificial jewels,
Watch her, praise her, that polystyrene Goddess,
Shining this night's sky, even brighter,
Than these yellow stars above us,
Lit by the unbelievable power of,
Batteries...
Have another Botox injection,
In your forged, yet lovely features,
My dear! Have you forgotten you should take one every six months?
A sting of beauty won't hurt!
You fool! It is not what is in your mind that counts,
It is what is under your thousand dollar shirt,
Have you forgotten?!
Have you forgotten?!
Be shallow,
Or else,
You'll never be good enough for the fake world.
You'll never be good enough for the fake world.
