Patina of Success

Skin deep beauty is deception
being only looks and practiced ease,
depth of character takes some doing
why learn when you can deceive?

Superficial is the by word
the opposite of worth,
a Kardashian illusion
just an accident of birth.

Character is just a role to play
nothing more substantial,
the only goals aspired to
have become financial.

Today's mechanism for success
is an artificial device,
going to leave them stranded
on dangerously thin ice.

You will wish for something
based on substantial work,
when you face the world
knowing only how to twerk.
