Plastic Blooms, Beauty's Doom

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,
