School Uniforms
School uniforms
are the last, tired gasp of a
dying patriarchy.
You see a DARK bra
under my blouse? Oh, God! Who
knew girls wore those!
School uniforms, with
long sleeves, aren't made for
pandemic washing.
A guy told me that
girls in school uniforms are
a core **** motif.
I told him his grasp
of **** tropes must rival
that of our school board.
School uniforms are

Uniforms, what do you think?
Better yet, what do you see?
We're most often what we're wearing
Life is uniformity
Think about it for a bit
Very few do not comply
These uniforms, from day to day,
Are the ones that catch your eye
Police are the most evident
Prisoners who are in the jail
Guards who work to watch

Death Uniforms Blue and White Stripes Cleanliness Godliness Slam
The uniformity of death
Blue and White
Fattened out with pin stripes
Until they did not resemble
A single shred of humanity
A ghost in all but name
Shamed and maimed
Dead behind the eye's and soul
Destined for the showers
Where cleanliness,
Is next to godliness
Meant exactly that

Weapons Wearing Uniforms
To all young officials wearing uniforms
and guns,
I am sorry you must respond to too many challenged residents of Earth.
It breaks my heart,
to open my compassionate mind
to this dysfunctioning society,
as you must see us every day and night,
both potential victims and potential criminals,
while all our good grace news fades into invisible understory.
No justice, much less mercy,
is

Uniforms
Does your workplace make you wear a uniform
Because you’re a firefighter, nurse or a cop?
Do you proudly wear your dark blue trousers
With that sexy white button up top?
Are you a chef cooking in a ridiculously tall hat,
Or a judge with an outlandish toupee,
Who gives terms of punishment out to the criminals,
Then tells the guards

Uniforms
(3/9/12)
So many uniforms worn in this life, and inside them
You’ll find your loved ones -your soul mate
Son , daughter, husband , or wife.
Firemen , policemen , nurses , and military too
They all have a job to do.
And as you look at them with pride
You thank god they’re by your side.
The uniform does not make the

Some people have an idea they think is new
To tell students what to wear is what they do
“Wear a uniforms that is up to our dress code,
Or else you will be required to hit the road.”
As far back in time as several decades ago
School uniforms existed but were de
