The Stepford Family Poem by Ima Ryma

The Stepford Family



Family is a nature thing.
Before humans, 'twas perfect made.
Human social engineering
Most likely has nature dismayed.
Is married mom and dad with tykes
Really the best for tykes to grow?
This way, humankind mostly likes,
But not perfection - doncha know!
So human powers that be try
Experiments of that and this.
Plenty of children to supply
Samplings of what will hit or miss.

Social engineering should be
To build the perfect family.

Thought provoking poem that seeks to show the discourses that exist within the standardized image of the nuclear family. Brilliant! ! ! !
