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.
