You Should Be Ashamed

When "darkness" leaks into the 
mind
Of the young who are thought 
to be blind 
Steps are taken and moves are 
made
To make the thoughts mist and 
fade 
Poison! We shout. The risk is 
too great
Daring individualism it poses to 
create 
For why would we want to 
expose 
The truth, we quietly lie, 
dispose 
Shielding them from reality, 
never letting loose
All the while you're just tying 
tighter, their noose
Strangle them with lies
Ignore their cries
Things are out if hand
Childhood is becoming much 
too bland
Facts of life become sensitive 
topics 
And you say the media is toxic
It's you who make their lives 
dishonest
Preventing them from 
understanding what's best
Minds with chains and a veil 
over their innocent eyes
Your security lasts until that 
final lie dies
Freedom kills what you built for 
the first few years
You can deal with the coming 
exposure and their questioning 
tears 
Don't you dare say I never 
warned you
I won't be blamed for 
explanations way past due
