Distorted Beauty

I recently drove through a busy high street in South London.  Maybe it could have been anywhere, but this time it was Sarf London...it was a hot day, one of those unexpected hot days you get towards the end of August.  Well some of the sights were just alarming.  Each to their own

I am here to report it
our image of beauty is just distorted
love your curves
but don't prostitute your worth

poses of batty and tits
breast and thighs
this is not pretty
if they are telling you this
it is just lies

I am here to tell you the truth
our food is infected
with hormones and clones
what we eat has been finely tuned
to ensure we all die soon

while we are here
end up zombified with ghostly stares
as you walk by
I am here to testify
what is going on isn't right
it will all end in disaster by the end of the night

it is as if we are trying to hard to compete
of images that our hip celebrity tweets
we’ve lost sight of what is right
squeezing into garments that are just too tight
what we are showing our children
heaven only knows
prissy little girls and thuggish boys
who should be concentrating on books and toys
