MODERN WOMAN

entry picture

Vanity conceals her beauty,
In covetousness she loses true,
Altered by wishes and longings supplied her,
She long since exchanged the natural for new.
The paints of disguise shout her lies to the viewer,
Convention cuts her desires in two,
Outer attractive displaying for notice,
Goddess within too scared to break through.

Thanks for the comments Philip. I must admit to wearing a little bit of make-up and colouring my hair occasionally myself, but I think you are right about Katie Price, the REAL just isn't there.
