unlike
surgeons
that repair
systems
make- up artists
conceal the ugliness
under layers
of false concern
and
powder puff words
putting on
understanding
as a foundation
for their actions
without
careful observation
the results
appear
the same
but
in the harsh rain
of reality
the make-up
comes off
and
the ugly truth
remains

Rain reveals…so very true.
You mix reality with such metaphorical understanding .. amazing always !
Mascara-streak evidence.
no one can hide their true selves forever. eventually the rain comes
These words have a punch to them. Great stuff!
thats why after an age or wisdom people start to accept their real self- beautiful or ugly, whatever is reality just show it, no fear of rain-wash.
another poem full of truest wisdom.
Concealing ugliness… your words are a reminder of the beauty of unadorned truth. Nicely written!
The truth can’t hide forever no matter how much one covers it up. The rains will come and cleanse. Great piece! Captured so well. 🙂
So true….
and sometimes, the rain washes away the make-up to reveal something more beautiful, than any make-up artist’s vision ever could be.
Better to just stay with the truth… 🙂 Sometimes ugly can be beautiful…..
Another bull’s-eye, Charles. Beautifully done.
Great choice of illustrative image, Charles. Very attention grabbing for your poem. Hi.
The truth will out – rain or shine.
Excellent Charles-
false advertisment at its best
