Caren Krutsinger Poet Narrative

Grown Up Babies Playing Video Games

So used to action
Everything fast paced
Instant gratification
Worlds away from reality

First job, too boring
Find out they have to take orders? 
No way!

Lots of cleaning. What is the point? 
Annoyed at the slow pace, the tedious repetitiveness.
Become irritated, quit. 
Thinking someone else will pay your way
For the rest of your life?

Sadly, it happens for some
Parents enabling these grown up babies
Until they are crippled
Playing video games all night
Sleeping during the day

Living in their parents’ home well into their 50’s,
Never being accountable, never paying a bill.
They are in for a big shock when something happens to their parents.
