We are like books,
Our appearance, identity, presentation
are like a book cover,
It’s to attract
and be sold well,
The glittering cover and catchy title
to enhance valuation and price.
Unique covers to create curiosity
in the reader’s mind and heart,
Showcased, we are then purchased,
But when the covers flip open,
pages unfold,
our lines read,
Alas, the story
that promised something different
turns out to be the same,
The same old, stale story,
written and phrased differently,
The same plot retold
with the same characters
named differently,
The same wine
in a different bottle.
