body piercing and tattoos,  fashion statements, the style of hair, and personal belief
all condemned with a bible in hand
while behind parish walls
the condemner masturbates to child porn because god is racial and biased
a high school girl enjoys the pleasures of many beds
back seats and maybe under the bleachers
and the stud who enjoys the same thing labels her as
slut
and at the same time the female role in what we watch is
naked and on their backs
sex sells not peace
why is that
the expensive suit and tie, the high dollar hair do
along with a smile from the last illegal donation received stands in front of a camera convinced they know what is best for us 
the almighty dollar
has purchased a lie and it’s their job to make us believe it 
it’s all for the good of country
children outside playing
or
inside withdrawn
either way they hear their parents fight and hate each other 
it’s an every day occurrence, a dysfunctional home, they are conditioned
the new american reality keeps our children sedated 
they need more drugs
keep them doped up because children are out of control
imagine that
air brushed magazines
tv commercials and the latest diet plan all define
the perfect look
the perfect shape
the perfect weight
individualism
it all stereo-types the expected norm while the divorce rate climbs because no one meets the others’ expectations 
a centerfold defines normal
and none of us are beautiful
today’s society  dismantles the human race
declares war on those who don’t conform
snubbing out imperfection
labels all indifference while the rest are doomed for hell and the politicians sign bill after bill protecting it 
we’re born, we live, we die  doesn’t that make us all equal

i know fat people with more beauty than any magazine can portray
i know pot heads who smoke bowl after bowl and still maintain a functional life
good for them
i see children play without medication and enjoy their world
so leave them be
the town slut should be called man whore
tattoos and body piercing are creative and so is the individual
it’s their statement
so explore it because you might have something in common
and who needs laws defining personal belief
we’re imprisoned by a culture where image is everything, money is god, and the priest is exempt from sin
a perfect world is being created and stereotypical clones are being produced one ad at a time beauty and personality is an exterior painting
that’s how we’re judged
on the inside everyone is naked and we just don’t breathe our air
but everyone’s air.
fill your lungs with it
exhale the sheltered world
join the reality
and look beyond the skin.
