Society is our bakeryA Poem by Ed WardA current issue in the world is putting gender roles on people especially children and sense beat poems usually ppl expressing their anger about something in society through confusing metaphors, here.Gender roles, a rule and way of society Maybe but i see it as a cruel metaphor or joke about how life is Each and every person is like a pastry roll Crisp new and fresh out of the oven And society is our bakery then the roll is forced to be filled with jam This jam is based of off how the rolls form is So the roll is filled with either strawberry jam or blackberry jam And their are only these two jams You can not make a new filling Whether it'd be another jam or something other You can not mix these fillings to accommodate one's taste Because strawberry and blackberry are the only two options You are either going to be nice and sweet With natural sugar and considered weak in taste always a pleasing shade of red Or you have to be dark and bitter Strong with flavor and overpowering © 2017 Ed WardAuthor's Note
