I sit here and wonder how I let it happen
Why didn't someone warn me?
Set out the red flag, bull horn screaming
"SHUT YOU EYES!"
my demise
has come from all the mediocrity,
the media telling me lies
about how they know the truth
have the answers in their crystal balls
and for one small payment of $19.95
share with me the answers to life
This culture has shut out it's values,
turned dark it's light and lost sight
forcing girls to perform acts like
monkeys walking ropes pulled tight
because they must fit the mold,
BINGE, PURGE, STARVE
their souls from any sort of substance
that may fill their need for self-acceptance
So they search, rummage if you may,
Saturday morning yard-sale scramble
to dive down and swim deep
finding the meat of a culture not known
to a pop-infested mainstream
a culture one step off beat,
with its liberalism, outspoken views
and yes, dirty realizations
of a world where help is needed
these girls jump, hop and skip to
merge in with this new found culture
of insightful revelations and
self-actualizations feeling unique
that they now hold the answers
paid $29.95 plus shipping and handling
for worldly enlightenment
but, you see
Life, Humanity, and Goodness
are things that cannot be packaged,
I managed,
to realize it is something our ancestors
found inside themselves, stood their ground
to say NO!
Rampaged down the road with angry signs
and loud voices, screaming
ACTION< AWARENESS< EDUCATION!
Now it's our turn for participation
to take a hold, take control, take over
and rip off the harness binding our thoughts
Anticipations,
for the time is NOW
