Description
I suppose this is a "mood piece" of human commentary... And, yes, this image is rather odd, I started with a pic of my Grandma (though I only kept her body), I super-imposed hair that I'd taken from another pic I'd taken of someone else, then inserted a doll's head over grandma's face, then I flipped it to a negative image, then I colourized parts of it - wasn't happy with it and used the statue effect (i think) and added the zebra option to it... and then added some slight colourization (because how could I leave my representation of an overblown ego colourless???) and added a bit of contrast to make it more solid.
Overblown Ego
Speak to me In varnished truths Adorn your cryptic words With lavish scents To hide the corruption Come to me in supplication And bend to my will Let me feed you Fecund feces While you smile

Wow! This makes me see a bloated pompous dictater, with people fawning at his feet... Oh right, that's our current ruler! Good work babes!

Nicely done. Powerful words and very strong meaning. Great work as always.
cagewench
thanks :) I was feeling fairly strong-minded when I wrote it ;)

A grotesque of a person so beyond a moral reality, that he builds him self high above all those around him. A bully, a politician and large number of people I have seen could easily fit this description.
cagewench
it's unfortunate that that's the case, and yet, I agree...

the pic is a photoshop version of "Gramma got run over by a Reindeer" lol (sorry, that is what came to my twisted mind) we have a Regime in this country that has no concern for anyone or anything that can not further their agenda....I alwayus think of Georgie boy sitting there snorting up lines of coke and Laura with her vehicular manslaughter that didn't stick....let them eat cake Laura ;)[going back to my padded room and behaving for now ;)]
cagewench
vehicular manslaughter? boggle
Hythshade

cagewench
thank you :)

Why does everybody seem to assume that the subject is a male? I've known [but NOT in the biblical sense!] a number of overbearing women who would fit this image precisely. But, male or female, you've described the type exactly.
cagewench
actually... though I enjoy the comparisons to George Dubya... this was completely inspired by a woman of online acquaintance ;)

Cara, this is such a clever way to portray the kind of person you are describing. I also liked the ending lots. I hope everything is okay with you. Catching up on your recent submissions yet again.
cagewench
;) thank :):):) I am doing OK, and hope you enjoy the catching up ;)
