Untitled
How could anyone deny that desire,
to forget,
to feel light...
My soul is as shallow as lace,
and it is beautiful,
graceful.
Too many deny this,
superficiality....

Diamonds
Superficiality surrounds,
Making us think what we need is what they've got.
What we need is what we've got,
And what we love,
Why do we try to act?
This game gets old,
And I don't like it,
Diamonds,
Glitter,
Gold....

Veneers

When one walks as snow flakes of superficiality,
they coalesce into what becomes their personality.
When one plays to the crowd of peers,
their face is one of beautiful veneers.

When one realizes that - like life -
the beat of one's existence - like a hot knife -
can melt the dream, expose the scheme
and to the surface will rise the cream .

The Offspring of Evolution
Breathe in a dust
Cough up a lung 
Atmospheric poison
Futuristic prison
Can't you see the destruction 
Of the offspring of evolution

They see beauty trough filters 
Hear nature trough earplugs
Smell pines in candles 
And don't touch! Oh so dangerous...

They walk trough life, 
Like they travel the world 
Experiencing the superficiality of existence
Thoughtlessly missing out on the essence....

Land of the Free
Staring on with empty sight,
our eyes can See, but they are blind.
We praise the Virtues of our Might,
and end the Freedom of our Mind.
Our hippocritic creed
gives in to Vanity.
Are we really truly Freed?
Descending to Insanity.
Giving in to Avarice,
Driving forward empty Lies,
Fueling Flames of Hate and Vice,
the Flaming, falling deadly skies.
Our mind implodes until we see
past superficiality....

Dogs Eat Dogs
unlike Reality
humans' Criminality
becoming Calamity
coz of Insanity
dealing with Duality
spread of Venality
infected Animality
vicious Brutality

Dogs are eating Dogs

gone all Fidelity
leading to Debility
in front of Neutrality
dealing in Superficiality
laughing in Hilarity
greed Whimsicality
claiming Ideality
building its Regality
under Illegality
where's the Morality?
you've lost your Originality
isn't this Inanity?
human race Fatality
tell me it's Unreality...

Premium Member A TANKA PROSE envelope
Slowly, nostalgia trickles into torrents,to flood memory's canyon
Crystal clear,vision's backward gaze .All future certainty lies in the past, often distant memories linger fleeting and ephmeral is the dream.Yesterday's hero,a today's has-been,all perspective,out of true;twenty,twenty embellishes hind-sight .Experience forgotten wastes away superficiality now has its day..
on the wind a bell tolls memories surface words unerased- the image fades
