Maybe . . .

. . . everything is really NOT about you!

From Wikipedia The Evil Queen in front of the Mirror. Illustration by

John Batten for Joseph Jacobs's Europa's Fairy Book (1916).

Every hair on your head

Has got to be in place

For the camera.

Every place you happen to be

The people stare.

You are not the main attraction.

You are not the main attraction,

But oh,

How you wanted to be.

Don't equate each little thing

That happened in the past

To the present.

Don't expect each person to see

The things you see.

Do you ever think of anyone else?

Does concern come crossing your mind?

There's enough conceit under your own belt

To last a lifetime.

If your dream should ever come true,

I'll see that spiteful face

On the cover

Of a tabloid where the headline reads

'She wants to be . . . '

Rare . . .

Rarely performed John P. Graboski composition '28721' which may find its way to a professionally documented version soon. A noble performance effort here for you, warts and all (as they say.)

Manipulation . . .

https://www.istockphoto.com/photos/marionette

. . . and the culture war. DON'T let them manipulate YOU!

(from https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/15/opinion/republicans-environment-climate.html)

". . . Wokeness normally means talking about racial and social justice. On the right — which is increasingly defined by attempts to limit the rights of Americans who aren’t straight white Christians — it has become a term of abuse. Teaching students about the role of racism in American history is bad because it’s woke. But so, apparently, are many other things, like Cracker Barrel offering meatless sausage and being concerned about climate change. . . This may not make much sense intellectually, but you can see how it works emotionally. Who tends to worry about the environment? Often, people who also worry about social justice — either that, or global elites. (Climate science is very much a global enterprise.) . . . What this means is that those people hoping for bipartisan efforts on climate are probably deluding themselves. Environmental protection is now part of the culture war, and neither policy details nor rational argument matters. . ."
