Gaining in this world notoriety,
Colored heads splashed, painted lips dance
With flamingo pink.
But a word with you perchance?
Drowning in superficiality,
Airbrushed bodies, done up faces
Impossible goals
Your self esteem it erases
This beauty is not reality
Fake lips and noses, puffed up busts
It's all a lie
Everything rusts
What happened to the art of subtlety?
Colors of nature, hues of earth
The gentler shades
Have they lost their worth?
Gone is the world of novelty
Fads rule the world, media ablaze
Individuality lost
With every new faze
Now I tell this current society
Through poetry soft, simple words inked
Remember one thing
Flamingos almost went extinct.
