Plastic Blooms, Beauty's Doom*
By Leni Marlina**
Plastic petals poised in perfection,
As lifeless guards, devoid of affection,
Whispers weave a tale of deception,
Captivating fools, a synthetic connection.
Shadows shift, a lonely charade,
Subtle whispers, truth evade,
Unseen, unwatered, their masquerade,
Plastic petals, falsehood cascade.
Stalwart stance, devoid of life's breath,
