    Made in China
    Made In China
    By Chantal Massuh
    I’ve become lost in the masses,
    I’ve become just another one of them.
    A product made in China.
    A doll that just sits there,
    Pull my string.
    Hear my preprogrammed words,
    I’m not real.
    I don’t belong here,
    Stuck high on a shelf.
    I can’t think,
    There’s this chip.
    I’ve lost myself,
    I’ve lost myself.
    I’ve become lost in the masses,
    Why am I any different?
    WHY should I be?
    A product made in China,
    I’ve become lost in the masses.
    A Replica,
    A Copy,
    A Clone.
    Made in China.

    Nice expression of the depiction of ones struggle to be an individual. Trying to find their place, to be truly heard cool

    chalkout, an interesting take on mass produced products and how commercialism drives the masses to them. A very worthy topic to satirize. I think this is superb. Ginga

    I remember feeling like this at one point in my life. After so many years of fitting the mold, one day it didn't fit me anymore. We spend the first half of our lives trying to fit in, and the second half trying to stand out. (fortune cookie) lol!!

    this is original, it makes me want to add, and joke, but other people besides ourselves don't take humor to well. Loved it.

    nice

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
