[bodytext] => I was told the other night that i am a idiot for not understanding consumerism and i should hide under a rock if i do not want to be a part of the greater whole, but what is this so called greater whole? When i look around and see how the world has turned its back on the things that are right (nature, spiritualism and family values) and focus on the things that are before me ( plastic, cheap and to me a world of illusion) it hurts deep down inside how we can fall for such parlor tricks. Do you not see how phony things have become? We now live in a sense of gleam and follow anything that makes money, our hero's are as phony as the movies they portray, there values have become our values and when they have no soul what good are these people to tell us how to live. All we are is molds and society has been shaping us since the 1960's with television and movies, you are not this without a ipod you are not cool unless you wear this type of clothes. buy buy buy is the new freedom chant and the worst thing about it is now we have rolled over and let them do this to us. "what are our children going to become when T.V. is there babysitter?" spoiled money hungry people who have no idea who there own identify since they are cookie cut into what society wants them to be a generation of spenders. Only concerned about themselves but not thinking that if they took a little time away from shopping or the idiot box and spent a little time within there community they might be able to do some sort of change.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
