How to find inspiration? Look, silly.

Merely Another Day
Begrudged or celebrated,
It comes. Year after year – a
Rating of sorts. Alternately,
Treasured or cursed.
Hard for a loss or more
Dear for a gain.
A technical necessity,
Yet merely another day.
Still
Every year they pay
For a paper card that holds their name:
Worth a tiny fraction of the price.
Every year they moan
That their group no longer grows:
A group that won’t take advice.
Every year the lure’s the same –
Mere pride, the cachet of their name:
A lure grown weak and small.
Every year (still) they complain
Even as they (still) refuse to change:
Why wouldn’t that appeal to all?
Think
If every disagreement comes
from prejudice alone,
And no contrary thoughts
Are worth a thought,
What are you but a drone?
Beauty’s Disguise
Make your waist look smaller.
Make your boobs look bigger.
Make your legs look longer.
Make your feet look shorter.
Hide. Cover. Enhance. Contour.
Disguise whatever looks like you.
