No Longer Skin Deep Date: Thursday, 1st July 2004 @ 10:20:00 AM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: Dragons_Of_Rose A metallic shimmer of sheer lilac nail polish Glistens at me from the side table of my room, Waiting for the moment I open its sealed lid To add dazzle to my women society costume. Dressed like the best on cosmo girl magazine Daily television targeting women with their ads, Size 8, C cup, cleavage pushups and low rise jeans Our set standards - you have to be sexy to be fad. Its no longer the days of women in long dresses Sun hats and material that covers is no longer in, Society has banished its morals and cherished values Today, beauty is no longer deeper than the skin.
