The Painted Teeth

It exposed its glamorous appearance in gold
Giving the perception of perfection
When in reality it is as pleasant as a decaying carcass.
It smiles boldly, in expectation to sum up admiration.
Little did its victims knew of the substance behind the paint.
They enjoyed its beauty with satisfaction
And prayed for its blessings.
For all who disassociated with the mad rush,
They were cursed and called creatures of envy.

When the true identity of the
Painted teeth was exposed,
The coated substance became pronounced.
Many could not stand its ugly beauty
Not even the flies were lured by its nice stench.
Fools became wise and lessons were learnt.
