Nothing Else Matters

September 14, 2013

Shoes, clothes, jewelry..STOP.

Nothing more than protective shields. Guarding against the insecurity of the human race. 

Constricting.

Prisoners to materialsm. Schackled in belts. Green.

Inside? What does that matter!

Perfection found in statues. Aren't we?

Painted faces. Molding hair into prim, perfect positions. 

Inject, remove, add the precise dose of soul poison.

Cut fabrics printed to design bodies. 

Flawless! Cotent. 

The flaw is within.
