Victims of Vanity

Intricate flora blind to colour,
Nature’s musty redolence,
Lid unfastens distinctly,
An unfortunate decision.

Distorted vanity views,
Quixotic toxic beauty,
Reality’s divergence,
Imperfect visions.

Doorway to arrogance,
Blurred perception,
Pool of reflective lies,
Overhead pride.

Abundant victims,
Snow White’s Evil Queen,
Swallowed by her counterpart,
Result: expiration.
