Chemical Beauty
Lipstick, mascara
Some blush on the cheeks
Hair curled and tousled
With highlights and streaks
Bright red nail polish
And long fake eyelashes
Bleached teeth that blind
When their smile flashes
Some girls work so hard
To accentuate
Their natural beauty
To increase heart rate
To arouse and enliven
The men in their lives
These sweethearts and girlfriends
And partners and wives
Paint themselves up
And in doing so hide
Themselves with every
Cosmetic applied
With every brow tweezed
With every grey dyed
With every injection
Their true selves they hide
Some take it further
Go under the knife
To cling to their beauty
They’ll endure much strife
The saying “skin deep”
Is quite apropos
A fitting way to
Describe those shallow
Concerned with the surface
With what the eyes see
Myself? I prefer
The ones who are free
The ones confident
To wear their true face
To see blemishes
And not try erase
To embrace their wrinkles
The strands of grey hair
To not care if men
Will notice and stare
The ones who know that
The kind of men who
Just care how you look
Do not have a clue
On how to look deep
And see what’s within
They’re not after heart
They’re just after skin
So next time you stand
In front of the mirror
Holding that lipstick
Lean a bit nearer
Take a look closer
At what you are covering
Look close enough
And you’ll be discovering
You’re using the products
Of companies that
Want you to think
Your beauty is flat
That you need accents
And highlights and blush
To make all the men
Excited and gush
The truth is there’s nothing
As beautiful as
The confidence that
A warrior has
The feeling that she
Doesn’t need factories
To make products that
Will help her appease
Nothing’s as gorgeous
As women who know
They’re pretty enough
To makeup forgo
The stunning ones who
This wisdom do reap:
That chemical beauty’s
Only skin deep
