Are They Real, Or Are They Clones?
Here they come
The Extreme Makeovers
Walking disasters
Frankenstein’s monsters
Accidents waiting to happen
They are looking for miracles
To be performed
Transforming them
Into Baywatch wanna-be’s
Looking for fortune and fame
When their bodies reject the silicone,
Who’s to blame?
From ugly ducklings
Too horrid to go to the Ball
Into beauties
Stunning enough for Prince Charming
To give them a Happily Ever After
But what I see is
Real women
With REAL bodies
Inside those real bodies
Are minds full of heart, soul, and spirit
Brilliant ideas, intelligence,
Innovative thinking and truth
Why have your body
Be a stick
Too ill to function
Too weak to run and dance
When it can be a shapely piece of sculpture
Made by our Creator’s hands
Your face’s natural glow
Is stunning
Your hair’s natural flow
Is gorgeous
Your body’s natural shape
Is as hot
As any JLo clone
So please leave yourself alone
Stop cutting, ripping, sucking, stripping and mutilating
Your beauty
Rejoice in God’s work and believe
In the power of You
