Latex Society

I think it speaks for itself.

More and more it seems I am suffocating

from societies substance not letting me speak,

so I gasp for air in attempts to get the words out

but unfortunately they aren’t politically correct.

 

Now I know we celebrate Independence Day

so I scratch my head while recalling why

when all the colorful words I try to express

are scratched out in place of charcoal gray.

 

If words I think don’t please everybody

then I should treat my thoughts like nothing,

well I guess my mind should remain empty

since the world is made up of different kinds.

 

As the heat from the so called powers that be

grows hotter and hotter over the American way

it seems to get more impossible to breathe

under the cover of this latex society.

I can hear Archie Bunker yelling, "Edithe, stifle yourself!" It's been happening for awhile and progressing. People now want the benefits of friends and lovers with no emotional connections. We will pick a president based on their color or gender but not what they will do for our nation.

Everything has become so plastic. If you don't fit the mold you are tossed aside like last week's garbage.
You bring up some great points here and I enjoyed your excellent piece of writing here!

I don't know how I missed reading this.... it's fantastic. Much of what we talked about earlier is here.

Now this is a great write ... and message. Very well done Dale!

Nice work, this piece has a lot more substance than a lot of the poetry on here.

Plastic publications post pervasive glue of the mind...

Stuck to the paper dead on arrival...never meant to detail the truth.

Minus the quotes of the ones who were smote and slowly driven insane.

Those in power call it the way forward...our plan....really it's just a scam !!

Dale this felt like something i would write. Have you been hanging around me to long am I rubbing off on you in a good way. LOL


I liked this as I said it reminded me something I would write myself and captured my thoughts that I often have about the world we live in. Truly inspiring to read.


Great job!!!!!!

yea, that's what they want you to do, conform to their ways. Not me!

then I should treat my thoughts like nothing,
well I guess my mind should remain empty

Different kinds of empty headed people.....
Nice truthful write. Thanks for sharing. :)
