Superficiality Poems

The truth hurts, doesn't it?

...You moan about how we say life isn't fair
But it shouldn't have to be fair for equality to exist
Life being fair isn't being born into luxury

Romance is overrated; love doesn't exist.
All smiles for the pictures, happiness in chemicals—
dopamine, serotonin, oxyt...

to move well and rhythmically, but not for too long
To dance like nobody's watching, just feeling the groove;
moving like nobody's business with nothing to prove...

Pretty plastic

...
Pretty plastic people.
Pretty plastic play.
What you see is what you get.

In the deepest chasms of my soul, where shadows whisper secrets to the light

...In the deepest chasms of my soul, where shadows whisper secrets to the light,
A magical and melancholic poem unfolds, with equal verses, tightly woven.
Inspired by the nature of the poet, that soli...

Through the funnel of time, we are hurried like the wind - it doesn't stop to whisper

...Through the funnel of time, we are hurried like the wind - it doesn't stop to whisper,
Life, swift and silent, flows in rivers of liquid sand.
With each fleeting moment, the profound avoids us, cam...

LA-DI-DA

...LA-DI-DA

There’s an honesty in struggle
Despite pressure to overcome
There are others with privilege
That’s sending a clear message
Still felt very strongly by some
With responsibilities to j...

A TANKA PROSE envelope

...Slowly,
nostalgia
trickles into
torrents,to flood memory's

Crystal clear,vision's backward gaze .All future certainty lies in the past, often distant memories linger fl...

LITTERED LIFE

Depth of the Human Soul

...in a perfect world, 
             we'd accept others 
           for who they truly are;

           of unconscious bias <...

...They gather about you
a clambering canaille
of fawning faces
Drunk on the illusion
of what they want
you to be

The superficiality
of contemporality
The fame eclipsing

They see beauty trough filters 
Hear nature trough earplu...
