And Modern Love in teenage magazine problempage
Love for the hunk and the babe
Not for anyone else.
Love is tight T-shirt Love is short skirt
Love is toned muscles Love is blue eyes
For Love must be kept dumb and harmless
In the Top 40 by shiny videos
Love only for the unquestioning norm
Love only for boys and girls who accept every stereotype
Jump on every bandwagon
Obey every command
And their reward shall be:
Bubblegum wrapper disposable love
Cereal package primary-coloured love
Marketable thirty second advert love
Harmless twocent soap opera love,
Love for the anime girl in videogame,
Love for the pop idol on bedroom wall,
Love for anonymous robot actress,
Love unreturned from endless video screens.
Love sold to the highest bidder every night on primetime TV,
Love falsified and distorted on every page of glossy maagzine.
