In “Little Women” it was
Limes.
In the 50’s it was
Silly Putty.
Do you remember
Silly Bandz?
Webkinz?
Fidget Spinners?
Checkered Vans?
How funny we little humans are!
We think that if we invest
In what’s popular
We will be popular
Which is another way of saying,
“We are lonely, scared, and self conscious
Hungry for love and acceptance.”
Didn’t know Silly Bandz
Cut that deep, did ya?
If that way of life is like
A narrow, switchback road
On the edge of a cliff,
I want to let you know
You can hike instead.
Or hang glide, or yodel,
Or forget the mountain altogether
And build castles at the beach!
You’re not stuck
On the mountain road tour bus
Just because it’s full.
You don’t have to do
What others are doing.
