Mirrors Reflections



Pictures paint a thousand words "loud"
Beauty of  riches, stories
It holds to tell, bares for all to see


Not all of them to be taken 
On word, sorry to spoil it all for you
Pictures paint a thousand lies 


Persuasive air brush, photoshop, to suit deception
Tabloid, mags, before a' after, to fool the masses
Glamour misspelt by notions painted

Teenagers "poor child" buying into illusion
Falling into lines of dominoes , they all fall down 
Ads, as facts; spin doctors, puppet masters "strings" 
 
Pin up posters, of flawless drawn 
Celebrity culture and plastic skins under
Content lost on the face of  fantasies glitter


Pictures paint a thousand words
Be wise enough, enough to know 
What is what, like what is lies


Looking into mirrors reflection
Pictures paint a thousand words
And flaws are natures own gift to bear
