Dental Flawss

Chew me up, Spit me out,

Grind in the nasty tasting truth,

Gnaw on the facts you don't wish to know,

The ugly word of honesty and valor,

Is on the buffet's special today,

Served up on a silver platter,

Napkin in your lap neatly folded,

Is your mouth watering the very thought,

That keeps flashing right in front of you,

The chef that resides behind heavens gate,

Prepares a special entree for every one of us,

Catered to fit, and delivered by the horned matre d,

Sprinkling in his secret ingredient of deceit,

Garnishing your meal with the facade,

A dash of reality, a pinch of pain and torture,

Plated on the finest of China, disguised as happiness,

Tiny pitchfork, serrated bladed razor, silver spoon,

Lain at the left of your plate,

Fluted crystal, filled with blood red addiction juice,

Numbing the pain you hide behind as you ask for a refill,

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder before you,

After you have smashed your entree with your canines,

Be sure to scurry to the powder room to check your smile,

Do you have any leftovers, you intended to save for later,

Trapped in the tiny space between each precious square?

No time to brush or floss, use a toothpick instead,

To rid your chompers of any extras that may have been left behind,

A gleaming streak reflects in the mirror as you flash your pearly whites,

Swish a little mouthwash of kindness, honesty and respect,

Swish, Swish, Swish,.... Spit. Rinse. Spit,

Do you dare return to the table & be brave enough to curb your sweet tooth,

Or do you tell God's fallen angel for the check instead?

Dig deep into your wallet,

If good deeds you have done in life served as your tender,

Do you have enough cash to cover your lavish four course feast?

Or will you have to wash the dishes instead of your sacred soul?

Will you forever be in debt to external beauty?

A slave to how you look to others?

How you look to you affects your smile,

Is your smile perfect, or is it full of dental flawss?
