Designer Children

Designer Children

A Poem by Cassidy Mask

You walk the streets to brag

Your latest fashion statement

It’s not a handbag this time

Nor a special hat

No

Designer Children are the latest fad

 

You chose the glittering eyes

And the ebony hair

The height

And the bone structure

You chose a quiet

Personality

So they wouldn’t be

A hassle

And you eliminated all possibilities

Of physical or mental illness

 

Because

Designer Children are the latest fad

But you don’t want the baggage

Of true motherhood

So you eradicated

Any negative

(childish)

Attributes

In the hope

They wouldn’t need

A real mother

 

Hugs and affection are so not the way forward

 

But

Designer Children are the latest fad

And you’ll not be the odd one out.
