Children Happier Than Ever Lie
Here's a question for
Whomever may have the answer
Because I am not in possession of it
Neither am i a fan of massaged statistics
And so called experts who them through
The media supply endlessly in droves
But how many young children are choosing
To take their own lives and commit suicide
Today more or less
Than two decades ago
Given that they are told they can be
Identify as anything they want or wish to be
Cancel culture has defeated hate
Racism and sexuality are no longer an issue
And expressing our feelings and opinions
Will set them free and in doing so
Help countless others out there
Who feel exactly the same
And always leads to positive change
Social media and living your life out
Online is far better and a more productive
Way to learn than from say actual people
Who may not have to look up
Have actual life experience in matters
That may be of use if asked for council
Not scoffed at disrespected and treated
as a joke
Which when you yourself will probably
Much later older and wiser become
Will eventually in time as well realize
When your time comes around as it will
That you weren't quite as smart as you
Initially at first thought
When the numbers are all counted and in
And they paint a pretty grimm picture
As every year more and more
They expedientially go up and up
And expose the sad but real truth
That modern day children are being
Forced into sacrificing their childhoods
By being exposed at a far to early
formative age
To such adult themes
They are simply not well adjusted enough
Or prepared to handle or deal with
As it's not only killing their innocence
And happiness in the process
But it's also taking and costing
Lives as well
And yet we tolerate this
Believing it could never possibly happen to us
Or in fact it's ours that could be next
