The Dirty Secret

Can you hear it

It smells like teen spirit

The sound is underground

beneath the surface

is where it is found

Masked by a pretty picture

A cautionary tale for your sister

Or daughter or wife

Or someone you care for deeply in your life

Because the moral of the story

is the trappings of fame and glory

May drag you down

without a sound 

at first

then it gets worst

Right before your eyes

The hebetudinous become wise

And then the treachery that was sealed

comes to the surface to be revealed
