Ostensible Makeup

Ah!! Wondrous make up!!
Admire your dexterity
For you obliterate
The dark circles and pimples
Making a person
Gorgeously glitter like a diamond!!

Alas!! Pity your limitations
For you tart up
Only outwardly
Unable to heal the blemish within!!

Oh!! Make up
You couldn't fill
The penurious hollow
Bereft of righteousness and compassion
A self masqueraded outside
But shallow inside
A self ostensibly strong on the surface
But weak within the core
A self pompously confident
Of being independent
Yet dependent
On tears for attention and sympathy!!
A self haughty toward criticism
But avaricious of appreciation

Oh!! Poor make up
I pity your efforts
The outward strokes
Of your brush
Failed to touch up
On people’s heart begrudging life!!
