clothes, cars, toys, appliances, food
there's more and I've mentioned but a few
the majority of them bad, not good
most of all and worst of all
is the phenomenon of the hybridised name
with thousands of monikers to choose from
parents with egos to blame with no shame
who saddle their kids with the albatross of time
no consideration of the burden we place
unsuspecting babies will soon be subjected
to jibes and sniggers of the rest of the race
River, Skie, Brie, Symantha, Jaidon, Rebekkah
easy to spell if you how
but spelling is now disdained as anachronistic
the language of 'texting' is the now
eternally condemned to spelling their name
kindergarten, school, work and in every place
every teachers nightmare at the daily roll call
everybody caught between a rock and a hard place
Mums and Dads, do think about your kids future
it's bemusing, confusing as to what it all means
if you feel the urge to inflict something unique .. desist
keep it simple ... how's about johns, joans, or jeans?

One of your angry pieces, I presume, spoken from the heart with a acid tongue. We've discussed this topic face to face. Although I don't agree with all of its sentiments I can appreciate it's poetry.
Chill out man (Just stirring).
