Judgment
March 21, 2010
Teenage comments, childish questions, adult concerns.
What are these stereotypes we earn?
Listen to complaints everywhere and what do I hear?
Criticisms about entire bodies, feet, ears.
I’m too fat.
I’m too skinny.
Nothing we can do to fix it.
She’s ugly.
She’s gorgeous.
Anything we can do to fix it?
He’s scrawny.
He’s buff.
What can we do to fix it?
Throw away TVs
and magazines
and billboards
and newspapers
and computers.
Seal our eyes shut, only see the insides.
