How we accept our ladies
I made her into a figment
Obscure, not reality
Thought that the ideal
Would fill me full of glee
The clothes, the hair, the perfume
Places we ate, what we would drink
A manufactured barbie doll
Who cares if ever you did think
Just look like a million dollars
Fake smile eyelashes and all
Reception lines, polite chatter
To be on whenever the call
Realized that the fabricated being
That I was shaping in every way
Was what I wanted but not what I needed
Made a fool out of many of my days
So I suffer with my destiny
To have been such a slobbering ass
And continued my erroneous conduct
So shattered having not learned from my past
Obscure, not reality
Thought that the ideal
Would fill me full of glee
The clothes, the hair, the perfume
Places we ate, what we would drink
A manufactured barbie doll
Who cares if ever you did think
Just look like a million dollars
Fake smile eyelashes and all
Reception lines, polite chatter
To be on whenever the call
Realized that the fabricated being
That I was shaping in every way
Was what I wanted but not what I needed
Made a fool out of many of my days
So I suffer with my destiny
To have been such a slobbering ass
And continued my erroneous conduct
So shattered having not learned from my past

"A manufactured barbie doll" you my friend Jazz have hit on something so true in the world of men, please forgive what I am about to say: as long as a woman looks good, you guys don't give a damn about nothing else, and gals who do not fall in with that standard are pushed aside. But when you fellas figure out your mistake then you do the double take and never view the "Plain Jane" quite the same way. You see You have failed to realize that all that makeup and primping takes time and if you've invested all your time in beauty what time did you invest in your mind? The "Plain Jane" knowing she is plain cultivates her mind because in the long run that is her trumping ace.
Good food for thought,

That is the nice thing about movies you like...you can look at them again and find added meaning. I was looking at Bobby (about Robert Kennedy) but this time without looking for political messages. Several relationships are set against the 1968 election.
Towering monopolies mold us this way and it feeds the minds of the simple who think they must conform. Break out of the mold feel the real person and not just the husk because she is not just material, she is a being, a goddess.
Good read! Jazz

Me thinks the monopolies work in many ways, sometimes so subtle! Thank you for taking the time to read!
