Yeah, make up don’t make me beautiful
The real beauty product is a heart doesn’t lie
You know what else cannot be trusted?
The suits, the ties and skilled verbiage
The business we do drives ourselves nuts
We rehearse speech, dress up to teeth
Adjust our expression in front of mirror
To play our parts on this social stage
We must look like somebody to be somebody
We must wear a badge to access some places
Here my Chinese peasant’s Curriculum Vitae:
3 pages crap for your acceptance and my dimes
Oops! I didn’t use poetic language in this poem
But please look at my face, I can’t act!
