Planned Lifehood Jina Kaye
I took a trip a few days ago to Planned Lifehood.
They had everything one was looking for in life:
If you need a high school diploma, you get it for free.
Even a GED, so you can get a job.
You need a degree, which would you prefer:
Bachelor�s = Basic Package
Master�s = Advance Package
Ph. D. = Premium Package
The Associate�s is free when you get your GED.
Finished with school, or while there, you need to find a partner:
Male, female, short, tall, big, small, Black, White, Caramel, Tan,
Pink or Brown, straight, gay, bi-anything, trans-anything�except fat�
No trans fat!
You pick and choose.
Now for the kids, they have all kinds:
Good, bad, pretty, ugly, smart, stupid, jock, nerd, extrovert, introvert,
snob, friendly, funny, stoic�I mean all kinds�please, take as many
as you want�PLEASE!
Careers, they have those too,
everything from President to prostitute.
Don�t dwell in that section much�you�ll be switching at least five times in your life.
Religion�who needs religion:
atheist, agnostic, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Yoruba,
Ashanti, Voodoo, Wicca�
or just build your own ideology. It�s all the same, just different points-of-view
anyway.
They have friends, families, neighborhoods, lifestyles�everything that is needed for
your planned lifehood�
Except your Life
You can�t get experience from a pill or on someone�s insurance plan.
You cannot get feelings and emotion from doing nothing.
See, there is no such thing as a planned lifehood�
even if we really, really wanted one.
