he was cute until...

Let's face it.

It's a world ruled by preconception.
Fame and fortune,
clout and possessions.
The rich and powerful,
the vain and beautiful.

I could go on for days.
The adjectives never ending,
but who the fuck
would want to do that?

It's no big secret,
my disdain for society.
The yearn for prominence
and social standing.

A man judged
solely
on his appearance
and credentials.
For women,
no different.

I can only imagine
a time and place,
where good men
and good women
appreciated each other
for the right reasons.

I'd like to think
that some people
take notice.
Take notice
of what really matters.
I can only think,
I can only hope.

Until then,
I guess
she'll find him cute...
until he pulls out his 'old flip phone'.
