Where has uniqueness gone?

Do you really want to

grow up into a society

this is so fake and transparent

and to want be a wanna be?

With no individuality and uniqueness

about yourself.

Just a doppelganger of yourself and

others around you.

With plastic surgery, botox.

Fake tans, fake nails and so on

with.

In debt to have the last trainers

and clothes lines.

Let alone most up to date IPhones.

And other electric gadgets.

When I was younger

we where more truer to ourselves.

Instead of following the latest trends

and fades society had to give us.

This younger generations of younger teens and adults

are so brain washed

by pop stars and actors.

Pumped into their brains

day and night.

By televisions,

radios stations and internet.

They are carbon copies of each other now.

What you say is so unfortunately true. I can so easily remember all the fantastic things we did as kids that didn't require all the gadgets they seem to need to have today. Toys and games we had and played that actually stretched the imagination. Just the other day I was bemoaning the plastic game of "Battleship", that any idiot could play. I first played it on paper and pencil and you actually had to think to find the enemy. Oh well.
Take care - Dave

Hi Dave thank you for your thoughts, time moves on and sadly that is the modern age now. Gadgets and limited imagination. Dawn.

Very true Dawn. Many young people do feel the presure to conform and certainly social media is a huge pressure. However there are also many young people such as our daughter who remain true to their ideals.
Well done Dawn and very relevant today.
Al the best.

I like this poem the best of yours on here. I can hear the angry ranting in your voice and agree with what you are saying, but are we listened to?

Amen, Sister! You hit every nail on the head. This world is too full of people who are so eager to fit in that they'll do the dumbest things. They're like farm animals, following the herd. Not me. I'll do my own thing and behave in accordance with my own truths, likes and dislikes. A great and timely poem, Dawn.
