The Times Of Today

Whats with the make-up
and that stupid fake tan,
wanting a bigger bra cup
just to impress the man.

we need to take a step back
and see what we have become,
ladies cut yourself some slack
we have a misson to overcome.

Girls, stop wacthing your weight
and for once ingore that model
just ride the wave of fate
show yourself love and compassion.

When will we learn,
its not about the look
its not about the cals that we burn
or the amount of men we hook

dont matter if your fat
dont matter if you have a spot
cant we just leave it at that?
not just wanting to be hot?

Look what the times of today have done
every girl wanting to be like Jordan,
look, the celebrities have won
making them look 'golden'

Refusing to eat
from the ages of five
the models we try and create
harldy keeping alive

Girls from all over the world crave to be like them
with the sexy toned bellys and lovely glowing tan
as precious as a rare colourful gem
we can over come this, i know we can.

This poem is brlliant! I stand by everything expressed in this, I honestly do! Too many people worry about how others see them, and they shouldn't!

A fantastic write, keep up the good work!
