I took her out today;
from the racks of storage
where she waits for days like these,
as i get to wear her face again
freshened with generic paint,
nothing abrasive, intrusive, or inflicting pain;
carefull not to offend,
just let her smile a happy face grin,

i took her out today;
her cookie cutter complacency
docile ,sqeaky clean, depersonalized
as a form letter, surely she'd
be the better me
to fit in life's formalities like these;

i took her out today;
shes coverup for the
superficialities of piercings and skin that's inked,
to the plagues of childhood shame and
later day sins of adultery, among
other maladies of a taintedflowergirl
like me;

i took her out today;
to impress a bunch of bible fearing hypocrits wearing the red white and blue badge of americana that surely have their own share of imperfections in their own personas,

i took her out today;
and felt sorry for the kent state 4 and the columbines and the
castrated minds of kindergarten rebels that dared to color cows outside their natural lines
and wondered if the world could truly ever be
at peace?????????????????????????????????

I think you hit on something that is on a lot of people's minds.

We do have HOPE!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

A theme of rough edges, truthful, rebelious
Just like I like 'em...

When people chastize others, I know they are hiding their private lives behind curtains.

In the company of these I become Tonto,
by imagination, peek behind their masks
And find they don't have the pure integrity
Or morals of the Lone Ranger.

Well done, Inky
enjoyed the read
