So-called Perfection
Its foundations are poverties,
And mascaras are inflations.
It dips in dirty discernments,
And lines its eyes with racist shades.
Pricey cheques are concealers,
And blushes are clownish conventions. Highlighters are hypocrisies,
While tasty lies are lip balm tints.
It does its hair with the heat of the globe,
And scents it with some lethal dope.
Touched and brushed by misogyny,
It primes its face with misandry.
Look at the face of perfection,
Its a graceful ball of illusion.
Dimples just lack compassion.
My mind likes poetic allusion.
