PERFECTION

SEEKING OUT PERFECTION
(by Curmudgeon)

Hide that silver in your hair
Wax that which is hairy
Peel away the outer layer
Scrub that which is scaly


Whiten what you feel is dull
Implant what you lack
Lift up everything that sags
Botox for the cracks

Photoshop those lines and spots
Colorize the eyes
Brush away the pores of skin
Slenderize those thighs

Auto-tune who cannot sing
Lip-sync at the show
Play tracks to enhance the sound
You think that no one knows

We can't believe in what we see
Or trust in what we hear
Vanity is run amuck
It's something we should fear

The smoke and mirrors of it all
Trick us with deception
And makes us feel less than we are
When seeking out perfection

Curmudgeon Out!
