A Friend Without Feelings

How big can the ego's grow?
How wide can the eye glance? 

              The playgrounds with 
purple slides are abandoned. 
Children are not
permitted to play. 

Youth is abducted by screens,
artificial sounds

Taught to love a black screen
Taught To march quietly 

Minds are lost; 
like an old mans will to run.
