Reality Eclipsed By Fantasy

I used to play 'make-believe'
    a wonderful way to try to live
  the life of a singer or a movie star
    a way to expand who you are 

  I knew it was pretend, of course
    just as I knew I wasn't a horse
  In retrospect, there was no danger
    no parents or politicians to anger  

  Now I look around and see
    reality eclipsed by fantasy
  boys play house, pretend to be
    girls... then enter this plea:

  Mommy, Daddy, I want to be a girl
    I hate my body - I want curves and curls
  Parents cry, don't know what to do
    Society decrees ~ 'procedure goes' through

Valsa George Date: 5/21/2023 8:49:00 PM Times have changed ! Accepting the real is not the attitude of the youngsters of today. They wish to live in a world of fantasy. Your fantasy was pleasurable and self building unlike that of the new gen. Interesting observations, dear Gershon.

Blessings, Gershon
