Modeling Poem by Albert Timper

Modeling



Roll modeling is key for some,
Declaring we are all the same,
Individualism is the natural one,
Being yourself is not a shame;
 
Roll modeling attempts to make us in name,
Easily controlled, manipulated, and told,
Individualism creates one who can take blame,
Inspires empathy, understanding, and the bold;

Roll modeling stirs inner conflicts,
Disappointments, emptiness-the mundane,
Individualism is responsibility driven,
Self-worth and values realized and sustained;

We are upright and honest,
When both are combined,
Too much of one, the other,
Conflicts the mind,
 
Making all unsafe and insecure,
Witnessed by corruption and shootings,
Reasoning falling short of understanding,
One group, one document manipulating;

Tenuous domestic tranquility,
Perpetuates the separations,
Causes suffering and bigotry,
Waiting on redemptions;
 
Roll modeling is everywhere,
Nationalism, volunteer, donate…
Many are told to care,
Sensing racism and hate;
 
Individualism is still there,
Standing against rights taken,
Doing its fair share,
Rights to liberty not shaken.
