Marching forward
Perfect synchrony
Laying down
Into their cribs
Heads held strongly
Upon exposed ribs

Antithesis of rebirth
Perfect copies of
Plastic mirth

(chorus)
Put on your best shoes
Expose your weakness
“Go break a leg”
“Go break a leg”
You’re what we told you to be
You’re what we want

Standing strongly
Perfect harmony
Reaching out
With your lips
Wrap your pain
Around those hips

Antithesis of rebirth
Perfect copies of
Plastic mirth

(chorus)

Beauty always dances
With the beast
Lift heads up high
So they can feast
Makeup always covers
Up the lies

(chorus)

Your life is just a reject
Of acceptance
Must be brighter than the rest
The models
Must be better than the best
The models
Must look newer than the old
The models

(chorus)

The models
Lift that chin up high
Wipe the vomit
From your eye
The models


Marching forward
Perfect synchrony
Laying down
Into their cribs
Heads held strongly
Upon exposed ribs

(chorus)

Point to runway number five
It’s the ticket to demise
Point to runway number six
Degradation by the pricks
Point to runway number nine
Spotlights out you had your time

(chorus)

Walking out
Perfect nothings
Hating life
Their hollow mod
Down on knees
Hail the fashion god

The models
Lift that chin up high
Wipe the vomit
From your eye
The models
The models

Very interesting poem you got here, Mad_Hatter!  

I like the lines:
"Reaching out
With your lips
Wrap your pain
Around those hips"

The line: "Wipe the vomit / From your eye" really drives your point home.  Good poem

Thank you for the feedback.  This whole poem was an attempt to make a point and I just hope I drove the point through hard enough.  Thanks again for the feedback.
