Me Too

ME TOO So what’s all the to-do with “me too” So we join the many instead of the few It all seems another act of distract Play popularity’s game of trivial fact One of those “me toos” living under a pinned shoe One of those “me toos” Still can’t see “the forest through the trees” The same game continues to be played Of “hide and seek” You just choose the game and roll the dice Anyway you cut it up, you take a slice One of the “me toos” Looking to distract Instead reach out with love Open your eyes and ears Have courage to lose Your life, job, career Because until that happens… I don’t care to join in the sea That sleeps with nightmares Only when someone’s exposed Then it’s safe to depose And let everyone know How “brave you are” The courageous are often slammed Patted on the head “Oh, he’s just like that dear. Be a good girl. You’ll become a star” How many sell their soul Let the devil do it over and over Again Steamed and pressed You’re ready for the press “Smile, like a good girl You’re a star” Not far to jump To take your clothes Off for the next starring role And see the next young thing Crying behind closed doors As you say “Smile. Be a good girl… Yes, me too” Kim Rodrigues © 2017
