PLASTIC YOU.... Will you let me see your naked skin in the mirror I think you are as plastic as it gets. Hope to God I see you know while you still are fresh Hope to God you have no regrets Let me see your face without makeup Amazing what some powder can do I know you cover the dark spots when you get the chance Exposing the unnatural you Let me hear your voice when you`re sleeping I know it doesn`t sound the same Shaping it, so you sound more like a woman Well, who are you to blame Isn`t it nice to just buy a life of your own An image built up right from the start A hologram of you that everyone likes Playing the perfect part But everything has its sideeffects All the hard demands to match Who really cares what you expect Living whitout a scratch Will you ever come to see that you are dead All that is left is a shell Covered in all the beautiful things we like To see, to hear and to smell Perfection has its brutal price to be payed Blood sweat and tears Well you payed it then and you pay it now Giving your best years And shining brightly in faked sunlight Glimmering with your mask I see you from a distance really So who am I to ask Finally my dear, have you thought of this You`re loosing in the end When they prey for someone to forget Who do you think they`ll send? Someone real who cares and thinks Knowing what is wrong Or someone fake with hollow eyes Singing an indifferent song At last you realize the all so painfull thruth You missed it from the start In the process of making plastic you You also sold your heart…. -Ramses- |

SEA - Thank you, nice to finally put out some of my work, and especially in this community with all the lovely people... Doreen Peri - This was written to a good friend of mine, and I will give it to her someday, maybe she realizes. It was actually a song in the beginning, but evolved more into a poem at the end...Thank you for reading BirdeeB - Nice to hear that you like it, that means alot to me...Thenk you |

WOW is right. What a remarkable post to enter our home with. Welcome to Passions and please enjoy and roam the walls here and then delight us with some more of your wonderful works. So very true in what you write. I wonder if the knowledge is there when one sells their heart or if they are truely blind. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

What price beauty HUH? But to quote an old cliche. "it is only skin deep." Well written and to the point. If a dream touches us, it exists to us as anything else that touches us. John |

hi there, this reminded me of an incident a few years back..a mother who allowed her daughter with down's syndrome to undergo cosmetic surgery came under fire for altering nature..she argued that society is prejudiced and if she can lessen the discrimination that her daughter will be suffering from by cosmetic surgery, then why not? i guess what i want to say is that perhaps there arent any easy answers...after all we are judged by society and it may be hard to remain self-assured when all around you think you are ugly...? good poem...thought-provoking...i look forward to more of your work  [This message has been edited by kaile (edited 12-19-2000).] |
