Vanity
Power to the people who see through the lie
Some of us know that it’s merely a parlor trick
Taxes fuel frustration choking out the little guy
Resulting in more money for that wealthy prick
It seems the rest of the population remain lost
Making choices difficult while feeding insanity
Looking in the mirror reveals what choices cost
Realizing we live in a world that caters to vanity

Author's Note
Late night musing. It sometimes seems like some people choose to not see what's in front of them. While others search for the truth with every fiber of their being. Just an observation. Appreciate you.

Right?
Like maybe the real wealth is found in introspection, or dare I say poetry such as this?

the mirroring skindeepness of a vanity crowd.. in synthetic meaningless crowns- whether they realise or not- will do their misdoings . That some in truth are still the warriors n saviours of this feathery floatative cosmos .. in all their densifying love atomicities… love your in-depth musings Damien . xx

Superb as always Damian, from an early age I've always been inquisitive asking, how, why? It's the only way I've found to scratch beneath the surface ♥️

I fear the next four years are going to be brutal, Damian. Especially for the elderly, veterans, and the poor.
I've seen better cabinets at IKEA.

Vanity seems to control the world nowadays.
Your poem made me think about this quote: "Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed"- Friedrich Nietzsche.
Great piece of ink, my friend. I appreciate you :-)

I'll take truth. It may not put food on the table in the short-term but it leaves my conscience feeling better & lasts a lot longer. Another slice of directness & honesty here from you
