I know.. the whole media influence on society is a really well known topic, often discussed, and often ridiculed. But i wrote this poem and it's.. different. I dunno, it's kinda more harsh then I wanted it to be, but it works.. kinda.
And the Media strikes again.
How many more will succumb to it’s allure?
“I can be like that”, but they never will
Because “that” doesn’t exist.
Stick figure turn-ons and stuffed lingerie.
Exfoliaters and diets and pills and drugs
The innocent are converted.
Blush and rouge and liner and shadow
Pretty colours and tight clothes take a girl far.
Far from what she wanted to be,
So many years ago.
Hypocrites nod their heads, they agree.
