The Luring


Sirens

Their beautiful weeps, leading those who listen to their absolute end

We now carry similar beasts in the palm of our hands

The Posts

They are known for promoting false standards

Singing songs about how you should look

How you should be shaped

How many beautiful islands you need to go to in order to escape

The false narrative The Posts create

Causes young girls to alter their fate

Constant worry about the carbs they just ate

And the constant question of “am I the right height for my weight?”

Young girls falling victim to the lovely melody

Where The Post tell them how they should be

Killing themselves slowly
