Images flash across my tv screen,
is this who reality wants to see?,
wants everybody to really be?
Pretty as Britney,
what happened to casuality?
or comfort? or modesty?
Is it lost for good?
is it just this world?
Maybe its just me,
I always seem to disagree.
Media, know its only fair.
To let us suffer from their tv personalities.
Let us free.
Its a painful generality.

Yes, I've asked those very same questions!  Seems like reality has taken over the media, and we really need more escapism.  I can't even stand to watch tv anymore, which leaves me more time to write, so I guess that's a good thing for our poetic minds.  I really enjoyed these thoughts, and agree with them...~S~

I also hate how vanity has blotted out the virtue of modesty.  You're not alone, and I'm glad to know that neither am I.  Very nice, truthful piece of writing, Kellie---it's wonderful to see that you're still posting here.
