Adonis
Sulks into the room
Body flawless
Features cut cause us
To pause thus and analyze
Memorize and fantasize
Reality tranquilized in lieu of perfect marbled thighs
Hypnotized, we redefine ideals
Away we peel
Strip back and ostracize
But colorized
To match surrounding teal
And into culture seal
A photogenic meal
Served best with fries
Obtain to what you can’t and long all the more
Drift further as flaws feel sore
We take a beating
In our bodies meeting
The perfect and mundane
Individualized lanes ironically look the same
Outer beasts we tame
While inner beasts remain
Seek fame
Seek fortune
Seek glory
But maintain a story
Where’s the narrative
It’s imperative
We find
Some kind of meaning
Understand my meaning
I’m not demeaning
My brothers
Who live in shallow skin
Who’s works of art akin
To empty flasks
Easily broken
Who assign worthless tasks
To men
Not easily woken
Who trample life
While children
Are being easily taken
A goal to make ends meet
Awakes a heat
In the hearts of men
And stirs within
A vile brew
So go to bed
Outright evil ignore
And sleep instead
Snores drown out scores of innocent voices
