We live in a plastic world
Where impossible standards have unfurled
Synthetic hips and body parts
Cannot surgically change our hearts
Why do we seem hot wired to see
-only things on the cover of a magazine?
The humans on billboards aren't real
There are flaws that they conceal
This world of airbrushed faces
Is worse than constricting corset laces
At least broken ribs can heal
Damaged emotions are a bigger deal
We criticise medieval times
Marrying children as young as nine
But look at all this social media
A predator's encyclopedia
Things posted on the Internet
Are as permanent as you can get
From this, modern society is spoon-fed
Please get this in your head:
No one is truly superlative
At least this is affirmative
Beauty from within is divine
Only this can be labeled 'sublime'
