Picture perfect
a constructed beauty
A screen to hide
the taunting lies
Painted on like a doll
so carefully handled
Smile for the world to see
how fake everything can be
Will a smile ever be true
rather than stapled on or glued
Tell me now your face it shows
that smile, you've be exposed

Everything is perfect as long as it is plastic. The flow of this piece is really great and the wording is incredible. The yellow font and black background sort of reminded me of a "No Trespassing Sign" - danger.
