Mr. Media

Oh, Mr. Media! Reveal and show
Your thoughts, your ideas, we long to know!
Express your values for this week
Just call me your follower, a media geek

Oh, Mr. Media! Now make me the best
Teach me perfection as measured in your test
Help me with competition taking its toll
And ensure I am flawless, like a Barbie doll

Oh, Mr. Media! What is in trend?
I must buy it all before the season will end!
Who is the designer? Which is the brand?
So I can show it off as it glows in my hand


Oh Mr. Media! What is good looking?
Already to attain it, I have given up cooking
Living on salad because that is what is takes
To become beautiful at such high stakes

Oh, Mr. Media! Why can't I look

Exactly like models dominating this book
I want their long eye lashes and their clear skin
I wish for their beauty, where should I begin?

Oh, Mr. Media! Who is a star?
Who should I become, as a replica? 
I want to learn her look and to achieve this task
I must too wear make up and use it as a mask

Oh, Mr. Media! You have to tell
What beauty buys are hottest to sell?
What colours are in to make me stand out?
Among all these fools attempting to pout


Oh, Mr. Media! Who should I marry?
All I'm finding is Tom, Dick and Harry
Where are these men found only in shows?
In the Disney films! The ones everyone knows

Oh, Mr. Media! I want a man

Who loves me for me... and who has a tan!
I wish for a relationship like celebrities hold
Someone who finds me glamorous, even when old

Oh, Mr. Media! I hate all this stress

Of beauty on the outside when my mind is a mess
I wish I could go out and wear my own skin
Throw all these thin, fake models in the bin

Oh, Mr. Media! None of it is real

It is all an illusion, of your own ideal
I can still be pretty without a label on display
Wear no make up daily and eat my own way

Oh, Mr. Media! I'm starting to think
Perfection and happiness have no link
A beautiful appearance depends within my head
Or what you have fed my pure mind until dead
