The Beauty Circuit

Im tired of beauty
And after so long
The endless procession
The genes of the strong

Compulsory projections for all to enjoy
Pathetic distractions
An over used toy.
An ace in the pack ?
The ultimate ploy ?
More valued than wisdom
It comes yet by default
 A Womans best weapon
Is she now worth her salt ?

A new generation still plays this game
The image of beauty
A new on line game.
Truth be told this game is unfair
A road to misery
A grim road to " who dares "

This game never ends
Those pouts
Those poses
That must have shining hair...




A poem about the way lifes become / 2014

Im not happy with this ending however much I mess around with it. I shall sleep on it..

10 years later and its 2024 and im coming back to this forgotten poem and that final elusive line !!!
