Make Up

A collab with Liza Vassallo

 

Human life is priceless

It is the hunger

That is the barcode

Etched to the psyche

The excuse or starvation

A permission we give ourselves

To serve our meat suits on a platter

For simple craving of touch and connection

 

Why so many forget

The value of others

Lies throughout the bellies

Of false sense of reward

 

It is the gamer in life

That escapes inner desires

By buying into another’s vehicle

Merely serving as one tire of many

 

Too much attention

On the latest fad

Could be the cause

Of a cry unheard

 

Wearing a green belt

With red sleeves

Fashion faux pas

For a dream to

Lock eyes with you

On a cat walk

 

We were not created

To own other’s hopes

Still we put a down payment

On our future masqueraded
