Objects

So many people
Living one lie to another
Out to impress their own egos

So many people
Doing it all for show
For shallow selves & shallow friends

And families too
Joining in, teaching it, passing on
Those materialist beliefs

Watch them
In their cunning concrete worlds
Listen & let them talk

Observe the gradual exposure
And look for the cracks
In their thin transparent veneers

Doing it best on social media
Well too in real fake life
Only their best to speak of

And behind the spotlights
Behind the soggy curtains
Their backstage frowns

Their backstage carnage
The debts, the horrid schemes
The lives they’ve ruined

All for show
All for ego
All for false self-esteem
