Borged Out of My Mind

Cindy Crawford once said “I wish I looked like Cindy Crawford.” Young girls look at ads Taking in hidden seeds craftily offered If you want to measure up You had better look this way So what if it’s Photoshopped Conform if you want to win the game Young men watch TV Women are turned into objects I admit my hidden voyeur views Without the least respect But I don’t condemn myself This could take a lifetime to break As I learn the beautiful dance Of respectful give and take The great and powerful Oz Behind the curtain dictates As we plug in like The Borg Wired directly into our brains My views towards women Are exactly as on TV But now I’m becoming aware That that is not me

TV and media are definitely not the master at what a man or a woman should be like or what kind of attitude to have. It is important not to see women as object. The media is wrong in portraying women in such a way, a bad influence in my mind. Caroline.
