PALETTE OF LIFE

A contemporary containment of

superficial portrayals of an image

to obscure to duplicate

   Yet you see hundreds of same-

   minded 14 & 15 year olds stretching

   the limit of beauty ... to belong

That same screen reflects countless

materialistic objects we "need" but don't know why

the same reflection built on popularity

   Individuality growing more extinct

   because evolving within your own agenda

   sets you aside from the sheep

Magazines depict the loss of natural beauty

now re-constructed in photo shop and etched

into the impressionable minds of our youth

   A diluted statement of what beauty is

   and what a palette of colors can hide

   leads value into lies

Showcased are the image hoarding zombies

to fake to realize their life is a script

promoting the control money can have

   Beauty can be the ugliest creation shroud

   in the most expensive attire but no amount

   of money can hide ... morality

Days becoming endangered to the simple man

when controversy begs to shake your hand

another victim to a conformists plan

   Resist those scams that doubt your value

   established only to populate consumerism

   in this marketable flavor we call, life.
