pierre cardin.... perfection




bow down

face (in the dirt)
the icons of society
stare back
in polyester, perm-pressed,
pierre cardin - perfection
gloating because their
sweaters have little alligators
promising all the plastic values
you can devour
(just surrender you)
short sighted, greedy
not us - hell everyone is
doing it, it's success
socially acceptable
(just surrender your)
crime, violence, drugs
yeah: society has its
problems
(integrity)

TOTALLY awesome message. I love your use of metaphores and how you can so easily get your message across, even when given in a cryptic manner. Love your work.. Hugs SG

Wonderful vent on society and a real opinion that showed strength in your view. A really power poem. I really liked it thanks.

So far this one is my favorite. I like your style your message comes across loud and clear within minimal usage of words. Loved it. A 10.

To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
