Dolls & Deities
We seek a hidden truth:
 The Phoenix found in soot,
 A glimmer as we die
 That sunny, cloudless sky,
 The song within the still,
 Those tear-filled graves un-filled
 But all is out of reach;
 An empty search we teach
 The quest for endless life,
 A stopper in our strife
 
 We question how it is we came
 To harbor all Perfection's bane
 Yet we should know how image lies
 The answer lies within dolls' eyes
 Ideal copies of sheer beauty
 Devoid of schedules, regrets, duty
 Which Perfection requires for a flawless reign
 But what is lost for such a gain?
 
 In ignorance the fatal flaw is ignored:
 This glossy glass Belle lies stiff as a board
 There creeps no life within plastic veins
 In Eternal repose these dolls all have lain
 Is this the state that we wish to keep?
 No longer to smile; no longer to weep?
 Our vision of beauty we never shall win
 Pretty glass jewels set on porcelain skin
 This perfection we seek is all that we crave
 A Beauty splendid (constricts like a grave) 
 This is but a sign we refuse to define
 A truth we reject and scratch from our minds
 Perfectionists dwell in aesthetic insanity:
 Perfection is found only in Dolls and Deities.
