Fill in the blanks!
Do you ever get the feeling that you’re someone’s experiment? A lab rat — or mouse (is that more dignified?). You might have an elaborate thing set up for you, and you think the whole world’s yours to explore but one day you realize you’re just going in circles — or something. You’re still trapped. You’re just a blank for someone else to fill. And everyone, I mean everyone, has got an opinion. And amid the clutter and the noise, you can’t notice if you ever had one yourself.
“The world needs/ought to have more <blank> like you.”
- people
- guys/men
- doctors
- teachers
- politicians
- Muslims
- professors
- students
- activisits
- lawyers
- artists
And that goes on, and on, till the break of dawn.
Not to say, of course, that the flip side doesn’t exist.
“The world needs/ought to have less <blank> like you.”
- jerks
- pricks
- self-righteous pricks
- arrogant pricks
- assholes
Pick one, or pick a few (so long as they don’t contradict — ah heck, even if they do, lab rat after all). Feel free to add your own.
