appearances

pretension

convention

scrapes

shallowed

surface

in pseudo-

service.

clichés,

platitudes

rule

the common

public

view.

who cares

whether

we live

high

or die

low?

not I.

surely,

I urge

too,

not you.

False images.....

we all seem a need to show others, for appearances sake, why? Because of the many weaknesses shown in the words written above in your versed Appearances. Being oneself comes with age and the wisdom to know who you/I really are/am and a willingness to be true to oneself. Happy Holidays my poet friend. :) Patrick/AO

But I really have something that will change your life

just send me your money and everything will appear to be better for me(with your money).you will have less money to think about that way. In ink, dabbler
