mom never felt easy about <br />sister's near-perfect face. <br />so much she has heard about pretty women <br />getting the loose deals of the world. <br />starting from her favourite drama <br />about legendary beauty Tang Dynasty's <br />Yang Qui Fei, the concubine <br />who was offered a rope to hang herself for leading the emperor astray from duties. <br />And signing herself onto quite similar fate <br />our very Diana who twenty odd years walked <br />so graciously down the aisle with the man <br />whom she thought loved her only to wake up <br />with a shattered fairytale dream in <br />the coldest palace in the world. <br />And Marilyn Monroe, the sultry goddess <br />of the silver screen, ran from one man <br />to another looking for a security that <br />always eluded her. Opportunists used and traumatised her - all for the premium features she possessed. pretty women, what hideous traps those beauty features hide! <br />i understand what mom meant when she said the world is full of ugly men and pretty women usually turn out to be their victims.<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pretty-women/
