Replacing Truth with Beauty
“Beauty is truth, truth beauty” ~ John Keats, “Ode on a Grecian Urn”
The trick is making it look effort-free.
The style must seem as natural as hair
Inside an armpit. If the star is she,
Not he, the use of hair-removing Nair
Or razors is concealed. The nose jobs are
Expensive so the fans don’t notice false
Improvements. If there is a little scar
Beneath each breast, the camera does a waltz
Away from boob job evidence. “Nothing here
To see,” is Hollywood’s unspoken word.
The stars are packaged as without a peer
In Crudsville. They’d never squeeze out a turd.
..The sting, though, is it’s all a trap. Seeming
…..Ousts being for the projector’s beaming.
~ Phillip Whidden
