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

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.

Thank you so much for the accolades there, Valsa. I do try to stay as real as possible --- even with my fantasies. Happy Monday! Blessings, Gershon

Beware the "FURRIES" they may build a nest in your backyard and be deemed "endangered" species....

Yes, I have electrified the fence around my backyard. Maybe I'll get lucky and catch a mink furry! ~ Aunt I. Peta

So true my friend this world is upside down thanks to the morons that are fueling this ideology of Satan.

You're right, Michael. These are not merely morons; they are downright evil! Thanks, gw
