Hollywood Style

Plastic surgery craze

Vanity,

Profanity,

I'm questioning

your sanity....

When vanity 

is all you love,

the surgeons knife,

a cool white glove.

Slices your skin,

opens you up,

changing your features

you won't rup

Ture your soul

and pierce the veil

of your belief

'cos you're a snail

caught up with all

the outer lies

not noticing

what's designed inside.

You change your face,

you look so ugly

your pretty soul

is so lovely.

Buried underneath

layers of worldly lies,

everyone sees the emptiness

behind your eyes.

Celebrity, fame and 

mass illusion,

caught up in

 your own confusion.

No matter how 

many tries it takes,

plastic surgery won't

hide that you're a fake.

[Phill Oz O'fee]

Adore your poetic interpretation; a person's character is more important than their appearance - physical beauty is superficial.

Reminds me of the old saying ’Beauty is only skin deep’; a proverb first found in a work by Sir Thomas Overbury, 1613: "All the carnal beauty of my wife, is but skin deep."

‘Skin deep' is now also used to allude to anything superficial. An early use of this was also attributed to Overbury in 1613, in Ordinary Fencer Works, 1856:
"His wounds are seldom above skin-deep."

Again good write … :-)
