Cookie Cutter Images

The new age believers talk about us being ourselves, Yet, when we are the people we truly want to be, The Elitists create controversy by ripping uniqueness to threads, Cookie Cutter Images are what is expected in this society, Women who parade around as if they are Stepford Wives, Men who believe that their only place is the kitchen, A utopia pleasing to the eyes of Leftists spies, Women are ostracized if they have a mind of their own, Or God forbid, if they are caught witchin', They become overwhelmed by judgemental frowns, Perfection is an impossibe task to attain, Since the Creator wanted us to be ourselves filled with errors and mistakes, Regardless if we cause disdain, Sometimes it is the only way that human beings develop change, or are able to get through life without become insane.

How right you are about the "Stepford Wives" syndrome, Margaret. If we dare to be different, to think for ourselves, we're ostracized. God knows we're not perfect; we're human. And it's hard to get through life without feeling a touch of "insanity" when we look at what's happening around us. Excellent verse, Margaret! Love, Carolyn
