CHILDREN OF THE FUTURE

Children of the future how cumbersome are your existence;

Erected in a strange world of diversity;

You were viewed by many as being a bundle of visual innocence;

Since your time progressed, your action is looked at as a reflection of your environment;

Struck with burdens that is far beyond your youthful comprehension;

You have become the object of bewilderment;

Birthed out of the horrors of neglect, physical and sexual abuse, Aids, Crack, and rampant, random community violence;

You endeavor to integrate yourself in such a way that matches your infrastructure;

Not knowing that the world that you reside believes in a higher level of lenience;

Law makers have bestowed on you a false realization of your democracy;

imposing a fragmented, chaotic and debilitating facet that breeds un-perfected hopes and hypocrisy;

lacking the intelligence of adequate emotional, educational, and economical preservation;

Guardians are sucked into a games of Russian-Roulette in order to save your virtue;

Parental controls are thus infringed by the dominance of family's in need of supervision;

placed into a system that is euphemized as the modern- day orphanage you are secluded from your loved ones;

You are now left to make self-thoughtful decisions that impact the morality of your mental and spiritual compositions;
Now surrounded by peers who have similar if not appalling instances;

Society has branded you as being irredeemable ungovernable and habitually disobedient;

Discombobulated reactions gradually impregnates your performance;

Adding on to the inquisitive and impromptu decision-making that was habitual;

You are now viewed by many as being criminals
