SICK SAD WORLD !

Ever since very young,
we;ve always been told,
to love ourselves outside & in,
& to break away from life's mold.
But then we're given Barbie,
& passed over the remote.
Toys & shows,
that just continue to promote.
How can we be loved within,
if our world's about the out?
Our self esteem destroyed,
weighed down by bricks of doubt.
So silicon is put in place,
& cellulite removed.
Make-up & touch-ups here & there.
Soceity's been proved.
Hours of prepping & primping,
to look perfect, for what?
Acception, Appreciation,
or just a second look?
How can we change these ways,
without eliminating men?
Appreciate inside & outside for good!
Make-over Barbie & Ken!

<3 LOVE ELMO

Welcome back, Elmo.
What a great idea.  We shouldn't have to look like those skinnies, they should look like us. Where's the phone? I'm calling the toy company.

Beauty is not always physical, you can think something is beautiful, regardless if you can see it.  Some ideas are beautiful...but unfortunately, the world is chronically shallow and it's likely to remain as such...behold, humanity's final stupidy...

Elmo...Very nicely done.  Herein lies many of the problems of the younger generation, nee I say ANY generation, and that is the need to meet society's idea of "beauty".  Very well put.  Hardrock

OMG!!!!!!!!! 222222222222 TRUE!  I loved it!  But,  unfortunately I have experienced it first hand myself.   I have had to deal with "demons of Barbie" (sounds like a horror flick..hehe)  with my own married world and my daughters!  Isn't it a shame that people are so outward appearance motivated?  I like to think we need to see the whole....that is where it is really all about.  Thanks for the eye opener.  I love this place and all of the talent!  You included!
